Jalapeno Popper Turnovers

Jalapeno popper turnovers are the perfect easy appetizer recipe! The cheesy filling is mixed with bacon and jalapeño and then wrapped in store bought puff pastry. I always get asked for the recipe!

This post is part of our continued collaboration with Sabra.

Some days are for celebrations. Some days are for jumping up and down with excitement and grinning from ear to ear. Some days are for picking yourself up again and dusting yourself off again and pushing forward. And some days still are for curling up in bed and having a good cry. And some weeks each day can be one of those in rapid repeat fire order.

It’s been an incredibly packed last few weeks on our front. I may write about some of the events that have transpired these past few weeks and I may not. Some things are just best left on their own instead of sharing with the world.

But what cannot wait to be shared with the world are these jalapeno popper turnovers! This is basically my favorite appetizer ever (bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers) mashed up in a creamy cheesy mixture and wrapped in a warm pillow of light crunchy cheese baked goodness.

The filling consists of bacon, jalapeños, cheese, cream cheese and get this….roasted garlic hummus. The combination of the cream cheese and hummus is amazing and adds just the right consistency. Creamy, smooth, cheesy, spicy and bacon…it’s basically heaven. And so easy.

I’ll just leave this picture right here. Swoon.

Let’s jump in shall we.

Allow your puff pastry to thaw! Seriously I forget this every time. About an hour on the counter or just pull it out the day before and pop it in the fridge.

While that is going start your filling: Fry some bacon. Chop some jalapenos. Mix with warmed cream cheese and roasted garlic hummus. Salt and pepper. So simple.

Roll out your sheets of puff pastry to twice its size with a lightly floured rolling pin. And cut it into 18 equal pieces (9 per sheet–most boxes have 2 sheets).

Top each turnover with a heaping spoonful of filling and sprinkling of cheese.

  • 1-2 cups shredded white cheese
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

  3. Roll out your sheets of puff pastry to twice its size with a lightly floured rolling pin. And cut it into 18 equal pieces (9 per sheet--most boxes have 2 sheets).
  4. Top each turnover with a heaping spoonful of filling and sprinkling of cheese.

Notes
Egg wash can be omitted. Use water to seal edges.
Top can be brushed with butter, milk or olive oil to aid in browning if desired or left plain.

    These look fantastic! I would like to make them for our annual Christmas party. Do you think these could be made ahead of time, and heated up right before serving? Thanks!

    Has anyone tried this using sour cream instead of garlic hummus? I’m afraid using something garlic will conflict with the spicy jalapeño flavor.

      Hi Angela,

      I have not ever used sour cream in a turnover before but can assure you that the garlic is fantastic with the spicy jalapeño flavor 🙂 These are devoured at every party I bring them too and the guys always try to stake a claim over the whole tray haha. If you don’t want to use garlic I would sub it with just regular hummus or use more cream cheese.

      Let me know if you give them a try!

      Dani

    These photos are so beautiful – it makes me want to reach into my screen for a big bite! This is the type of recipe that I tend to crave – crunchy finger foods that the kids can help to make!
