Jonathan Althaus:
Nothing says fall in Texas like college football and tailgating. And nothing says the beginning of fall like dove hunting on Labor Day weekend. While a single dove doesn't yield much meat, a full weekend of hunting will give you enough dove to make your tailgating experience quite tasty.
Ingredients:
Dove
Half a piece of cheese per dove breast
1 slice of uncooked bacon per dove breast
Salt and pepper to season (optional)
1 toothpick per popper
1. After cleaning the bird, filet each breast off the sternum. You may season the meat lightly.
