These delicious Hawaiian Turkey Burgers are packed with tons of flavor, made with a healthy homemade teriyaki sauce and topped with fresh grilled pineapple!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
For the burgers:
- 1 lb 94% lean ground turkey
- 2 Tbsp teriyaki sauce + extra for drizzling
- 1/2 cup shredded zucchini water squeezed out
- 1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
- 1 tsp fresh grated ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 whole wheat buns or lettuce cups
Toppings:
- 4 grilled pineapple rings
- Red onion sliced into rings
- Leafy lettuce
- Extra teriyaki sauce
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, teriyaki sauce, shredded zucchini, onion, cilantro, ginger, and salt/pepper, being careful not to over-mix (this could make the burgers tough). Shape mixture into 4 round burger patties.
- Preheat grill or grill pan on medium-high heat and lightly oil with nonstick spray. Cook the burgers about 5 to 6 minutes per side, until completely cooked and no longer pink. The internal temp should read 165 degrees F. You can also brush the burgers with the reserved teriyaki sauce as they cook!
- While the burgers are cooking, you can also grill the pineapple rings, about 3 minutes per side.
- To assemble the burgers, place lettuce on the bottom half of a bun, top with a turkey burger, a grilled pineapple ring, followed by red onion. Drizzle with a little teriyaki sauce and add the top bun. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
*Turkey burgers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator or you can freeze them for up to 3 months.
