Teriyaki Turkey Burgers with grilled pineapple

Turkey burgers often get the reputation of being too dry. The addition of eggs and teriyaki sauce give this recipe a great boost of flavor. This version will give you 8 burgers, it's easy to cut the recipe in half.


2 eggs
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/3 cup diced onion
2 T. fresh minced garlic
1/3 cup teriyaki sauce, divided
1/2 t. onion powder
2 lbs. ground turkey

8 slices pineapple, drained
8 hamburger buns, split, buttered, and toasted
green leaf lettuce
teriyaki sauce

Preheat grill to medium.

Combine egg, bread crumbs, onion, garlic 3 T. teriyaki sauce, and onion powder in a bowl.  Add turkey and mix until combined; shape into eight patties.

Coat both sides of patties with non-stick spray, then grill, covered, until a thermometer inserted into center registers 165 degrees F., about 6 - 8 minutes. Brush patties with remaining teriyaki sauce during the last 3 minutes of cooking.

Grill pineapple slices until grill marks appear, 3 - 4 minutes per side.

Assemble burgers on buns with lettuce, pineapple, and additional teriyaki sauce.

  1. I like what you put in the burger. I love pineapple, but pretty sure I'd have to leave it off when eating it.
