Description

Sweet pineapple and teriyaki come together in these island-inspired Hawaiian Turkey Burgers. They are a fun way to mix things up on the grill!


Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup (plus more if you need it) dry bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup red or green bell pepper, minced (about 1/2 medium bell pepper)
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger root
  • 1 small can pineapple slices; reserve juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • Thick Teriyaki sauce (like Kikkoman or this recipe)
  • Mayonnaise (optional, but very yummy!)
  • 4 hamburger buns (you can use this recipe if you’re feeling ambitious)

Instructions

  1. Gently combine turkey, bread crumbs, bell pepper, green onion, ginger, 1/4 cup reserved juice from pineapple, and salt. Form into 4 deliciously large patties. Chill until ready to cook.
  2. Pop burgers on the grill until done (4-5 minutes per side, until they reach an internal temperature of 165° F); otherwise, you could put these under the broiler in your oven, a grill pan on your stovetop, or just a frying pan. If desired, grill pineapple in last 5 minutes of cooking. Baste burgers with Teriyaki sauce during last two minutes of grilling. Spread buns with mayonnaise and a little more Teriyaki sauce. Enjoy!
