Instructions
- In a small bowl add the cream cheese, garlic powder and some salt and pepper and mix well to combine.
- Meanwhile, in a small pan add the turkey sausage and cook until browned and set aside.
- Spray the bottom of the jalapeño halves with some olive oil cooking spray and then simply add some cream cheese to each half.
- Next, top the cream cheese with a few pieces of the turkey sausage and place them on a wire rack over a baking sheet. Then top each one with some Panko bread crumbs and a bit of parmesan cheese.
- Bake them at 350 degrees for about 22 minutes and then once they are done I like to turn on the broiler for a minute or 2 to make sure the bread crumbs get a little brown.
- These are a lighter version of the original and they are delicious even my daughter loves them! :)
