[h=2]Cheesy Jalapeno Popper-Turkey Sandwiches--with BACON
[/h]Use any kind of bread BUT my plan is for homemade Papo Seco (Portuguese-style) buns
Ingredients

Ingredients
- 4 large jalapeno peppers
- 4 large slices sourdough bread
- 6 ounces sliced oven roasted turkey breast (leftovers are GREAT for this!)
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup shredded Monterrey Jack cheese (cheddar is good, too)
- 4 strips cooked bacon
- Sliced tomato for serving
- Mayo, if desired
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Stem the jalapenos peppers and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the cores.
- Set them onto a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes to soften. Remove and cool.
- Spread nearly an ounce of cream cheese over 2 slices of the sourdough bread. These will be the sandwich bottoms.
- Next, top them with sliced turkey.
- Spread the remaining jalapeno halves with cream cheese and set them over the top of the turkey.
- Sprinkle each with paprika, garlic powder and black pepper.
- Top with shredded cheese, then bacon.
- Set onto a baking sheet with the other sourdough bread slices and bake for 10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bread toasted.
- Remove, top with sliced tomato, mayo if desired (I didn't use it) and serve.
