Jalapeno Quail Appetizers

SUBMITTED BY: Diana Johnston

"'My husband quail-hunts every season, and this recipe has become our favorite way to serve the birds. The bacon keeps the meat from drying out, and the jalapeno lends a little zip,' shares Diana Johnston of Kingston, Oklahoma, 'I sometimes serve these cute bundles as a main dish.'"

INGREDIENTS

2 large jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded*
1 pound boneless quail breasts
12 bacon strips
1 (16 ounce) bottle Italian salad dressing

DIRECTIONS

Cut each jalapeno half into three long strips. Place a strip widthwise in the center of each quail breast; roll up from a short side. Wrap each with a bacon strip and secure with toothpicks. Place in a large resealable plastic bag. Add salad dressing; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
Drain and discard marinade. Grill appetizers, covered, over indirect medium heat for 16-20 minutes or until quail juices run clear and bacon is crisp, turning occasionally.
