Servings large burgers
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
- 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.
- 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!
Notes
- Store leftover burger patties in an airtight container in the fridge and eat within 3-4 days for best result.
- Make sure to look for turkey that is 93% lean and 7% fat so your burgers stay moist and flavorful.
