'Turd Wrapping...................

[unl1mtd]

I notice that when you are cutting you aren't wearing gloves, do you glove up for the wrapping process? Or has your body become immune to the effects of jalapeño?

I burnt like crazy after doing turds the first time. Now, gloves throughout the process for me.

I put smokies in mine, with a hunk of cheese.

When I want to make vegetarian ones, I put a chunk of chicken apple sausage instead

Naw, that's cool Jo....the ORIGINAL fixup calls for a Smokie or other little sausage type addition....

i think those ones you're using are great....added layer of flavor there......maybe 75% of the time, I lean on the cream cheese additions to provide the extras....
Then sometimes a strip of chicken breast, a strip of marinated beef, even lamb, seasoned with rub / marinade.....or a Smokie of some type.........
The main reason for no additions like Smokies is just for speed of wrapping, that's it......

Yep, unl1mtd.....gloves !!!

I get going & forget sometimes. sometimes I just don't care......those pics are also a little older & may be from the days I used to soak them in Sprite (soda pop) to reduce the heat factor.....still leaves the pepper flavor, but takes a large portion of the sting away for grandma & other lightweights.....

You Bet, Daz.....chickenapple's a vegetable......here's some of my attempts at cheddar :

I have tried a few different wrapping techniques. 

Then tried 1buckie's method, and I haven't looked back.

The possibilities are endless with what you put in the pepper.
My cheese mixture is rather simple ... maybe 4-5 ingredients.
I have used the little smokies many times. Lately I've used rib meat from rib tips.
Next time, I think I might try some fresh pineapple.

One tip - Do NOT stretch the bacon ... It shrinks when it cooks ... I knew / know that, but sometimes I don't think ..
It then squeezes out all of that delicious filling that you have worked so hard to make, and then fill the peppers.

JoCool.....here's one where I took some time adding in toppings.....

the baby bells got a dab of cream cheese & the chopped lamb mix, a few got cr. cheese & a strip of lamb & some got tiny shrimplets & a strip of lamb.........Surf 'n' Turf 'Turds !!!!





Marked the shrimp ones for easy I.D.:

Thanks brother. So this style of cooking can be experimented with. Awesome!

[1buckie]

Absolutely !!!!

"Turds might be one of the most open-ended items on the BBQ menu !!!!

I mix cream cheese, cumin, minced garlic, onion powder, black pepper and some kosher salt and stuff away. Usually make a batch of jalapeños and some small sweet peppers. Occasionally I will use the  Philadelphia brand jalapeño cheese. 1 piece of the Costco brand hickory bacon wrapped loosely with toothpick just like 1buckie.

Man I can't wait till Saturday. Got the whole family coming over and making turds, baby backs, steak and potato kabobs, beans, and corn on the cob.

Could you please bring some pork butt. I have not been happy with the ones I have cooked.

[1buckie]

Let's see.....hot holding to Jersey.....yeah, it could happen !!!!

[Jocool]

I was looking at the Netherlands thread on the other site and I saw some goat cheese which was bacon wrapped. I wonder how that would go in a Turd. Anyone tried different cheeses?

[iCARRY]

I have done goat cheese and feta. Both came out good.

[Lumpy Coal]

Great thread @1buckie, just what I was looking for!   Think I'm going to try these today!
