Ingredients

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 4 pieces pineapple slices (fresh or canned)
• 0.25 cup teriyaki sauce
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 stalks green onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 0.25 tsp ground ginger
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 4 pieces hamburger buns
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 4 pieces red onion slices

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, panko breadcrumbs, green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the patties tender.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions, and shape them into burger patties slightly larger than the size of the hamburger buns.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the cooking surface with oil to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Cook the turkey patties for 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Brush each patty with teriyaki sauce during the last minute of cooking for added flavor.

Step 6

While the patties cook, grill or sear the pineapple slices for about 2 minutes per side until caramelized and slightly charred.

Step 7

Toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

Step 8

Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun.

Step 9

Assemble the burgers by layering a lettuce leaf, a cooked turkey patty, a slice of grilled pineapple, and a slice of red onion on the bottom bun.

Step 10

Place the top bun on each burger, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Hawaiian Turkey Burgers!
