1. Prep the Dates

• Slice each date lengthwise and remove the pit (if not already pitted).

• Gently open each date and spoon or pipe in about 1 teaspoon of goat cheese.

2. Wrap with Turkey Bacon

• Cut each turkey bacon strip in half.

• Wrap a strip around each stuffed date and secure with a toothpick if needed.

3. Bake to Perfection

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

• Place dates on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

• Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bacon is browned and slightly crispy.

4. Serve and Enjoy

• Let cool slightly.

• Optional: drizzle with honey or maple syrup or sprinkle with chopped pecans.
