Equipment

  • Pellet smoker

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Duck breast
  • 10 whole Jalapenos / bell peppers
  • 250 grams Cream cheese
  • 20 slices Bacon slices

Instructions
 

  • Slice the peppers lengthwise and remove the seeds. Don't cut the tops off because the jalapeño shape creates the boat in which the cream cheese will melt in.
  • You can wear gloves to avoid spicy hands.
  • Prepare the duck breast by slicing it into short strips, big enough to cover the pepper. Season both sides with your bbq rub, marinate, or choice of seasoning.
  • If you want to add different cheeses into your mixture, add these to a bowl and mix the cream cheese and cheese so they combine firmly. If you're using plain old cream cheese, go to step 3!
  • Spoon out a tablespoon of cream cheese mixture into the jalapeño. Add the slice of seasoned duck. Wrap with a slice of bacon and secure it with a toothpick.
  • Arrange the peppers onto a wire tray. Using a wire tray helps prevent any bits falling through the grill gaps on your Traeger and also makes it easier to transport them.
  • Place the tray directly onto your Traeger smoker at 300F for 45min to 1 hour until the bacon crisps up. Turn your tray about halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  • Cool the poppers on a tray before serving.
