Apricot and Turkey Bacon Bites

Apricot and Turkey Bacon Bites

Ingredients:
Dried apricots
Orange juice
2 teaspoons no-sugar-added orange marmalade
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
6 slices lean turkey bacon
1 teaspoon olive oil
Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions:
1. Place apricots in small bowl, pour orange juice over, and toss so that apricots are moistened all over (this will prevent them from burning when grilled).
2. Mix marmalade with mustard. Spread each slice of turkey bacon with a little mustard mixture.
3. Using scissors, cut bacon in half lengthwise. Cut each piece in half again, this time across the middle, to make a total of 24 strips of bacon.
4. Preheat a ridged grill pan or oven broiler to medium. Drain apricots. Wrap a strip of turkey bacon around each apricot and secure it with a wooden pick.
5. Arrange turkey bites on grill pan, then brush each with a little oil. Grill on each side for 1 minute, or until bacon is just cooked.
6. Pile bites in small, shallow bowl and sprinkle with chopped parsley, if using. Serve hot.
