Marinade

• Spread some cream cheese across the jalapeno, place a piece of wild turkey breast onto it, wrap it in the bacon, and stick a toothpick through it to hold it all together.
• Heat the grill up to 300-350°F. Place the turkey jalapeno poppers on the grill, and rotate every few minutes. Once the bacon is done, the turkey should also be done.
