TERIYAKI TURKEY BURGERS WITH GRILLED PINEAPPLE SLICES



Teriyaki Turkey Burgers With Grilled Pineapple Slices image

Healthful and Satisfying. These moist turkey burgers are sure to please your guests, great on a barbeque or in a pan. No condiments required! I developed this recipe because I was curious about whether I could make a turkey burger without using eggs or bread crumbs as filler. If you are planning to grill these on a barbeque, it helps to make the patties early and freeze them first. This will allow it to hold shape long enough for the turkey to release the small amount of fat that will hold it together.

Provided by Mike Schafer

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 2h10m

Yield 4 Burgers, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb lean ground turkey
2 cups grated carrots

1/2 cup minced onion
1 cup teriyaki sauce
1 (16 ounce) can crushed pineapple (in juice, not syrup)
1 (16 ounce) can sliced pineapple (in juice, not syrup)
4 whole grain buns

Steps:

  • Drain crushed pineapple; combine drained pineapple with carrots, onions, ginger and teriyaki sauce. Allow to marinate one hour.
  • Strain the carrots, pineapple and onions, reserving the teriyaki mixture.
  • Add the strained carrots, pineapple and onions to the turkey meat. Mix thoroughly. Form the mixture into even patties and freeze until ready to grill.
  • Drain the juice from the sliced pineapple, replace it with the reserved teriyaki mixture. Allow to marinate for an hour or more.

GRILLED TURKEY BURGERS WTIH MONTEREY JACK, POBLANO PICKLE RELISH



Grilled Turkey Burgers Wtih Monterey Jack, Poblano Pickle Relish image

This recipe is from Grilling for Life cookbook by Bobby Flay. Turkey burgers have become the alternative to hamburgers. Ground turkey is a great choice because of its low fat content, but that often means the burgers are dry and bland. Not these! The slightly spicy pickle relish and the cooling avocado mayonnaise infuse the burgers with flavor through and through.
