Grilled pineapple tops flavorful turkey burgers to give this easy slider recipe a Hawaiian flair.Ingredients
- 1 pound 93 percent lean ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium teriyaki sauce
- 2 scallions, sliced
- 1 large garlic, minced
- 1/4-inch-thick fresh pineapple rings
- 1 small red onion, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rings
- toasted slider buns, preferably whole-wheat
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 6 small leaves Boston lettuce
PreparationPre-heat grill to medium-high. Combine turkey, teriyaki sauce, scallions and garlic in a medium bowl; gently knead together. Do not over-mix. Form into six burgers, about 3 inches wide. Oil the grill rack (see tip). Grill the burgers until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 165∞F, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Grill pineapple rings until lightly charred, about 2 minutes per side. Grill onions until lightly charred and starting to soften, about 2 minutes per side. Assemble the burgers on toasted buns with 1 teaspoon mayonnaise, one lettuce leaf, one pineapple ring and about three onion rings each.
Tip: To oil a grill rack, oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.)
