Plan ahead the shaped uncooked burger patties need to marinate for a minimum of 6 hours to blend the flavors before grilling. If possible use fresh pineapple rings for this about 1/2-inch thick or a little larger. If you prefer a little kick then add in a small amount of cayenne pepper --- You can also use half ground pork and beef --- you will LOVE these burgers!

1 tablespoon oil (if you use turkey burger)
1/4 cup brown sugar or 1/4 cup Splenda brown sugar blend
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon pineapple juice
2 (12 ounce) cans pineapple slices in juice
1 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon celery seed
2 teaspoons pineapple juice
1 tablespoon ketchup
8 slices provolone cheese
8 romaine lettuce leaves
8 hamburger buns
1/2 cup margarine

Steps:

Open canned pineapple, drain juice and reserve amounts for recipe.
In large mixing bowl, add egg, (oil if using turkey burger only) brown sugar, ginger, soy sauce, 1 tblsp pineapple juice. Mix well. Set aside.
For dressing:.
In small bowl mix mayonnaise, celery seed, pineapple juice, ketchup.Taste. You may add a little more Ketchup by tsp if you prefer. Refrigerate.
Add ground meat to egg, brown sugar and spice mixture. Mix well. I use my fingers.
Form into 8 patties.
Put on the grill and cook about 6 minutes, then flip until done.
You may grill the pineapple rings on the grill for about 2 minutes.
Brush margarine on each side of buns.
Put on the grill the last two or three minutes to toast.
To Serve: Place one slice cheese on bun, then cooked pattie, add a spoonful of sauce on top, then romaine lettuce leaf, then one pineapple ring, top with other half of bun.
Serve with Taro chips, Hawaiian potato chips, pastachio nuts, and fresh coconut slices if you have. Dip the coconut slices in a mixture of vanilla and evaporated milk and Splenda before serving.
Note: I have not used fresh pineapple because there is intense natural acid. Some of the family cannot tolerate. You could substitute fresh pineapple, make sure you use some of the natural juice.

Tips:

Use fresh ground beef: Freshly ground beef has a more flavorful taste than pre-packaged ground beef. If possible, grind your own beef at home or ask your butcher to grind it for you.
Season the beef well: Don't be afraid to season the beef liberally with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the burgers.
Form the burgers gently: When forming the burgers, handle the beef gently. Over-handling the beef can make the burgers tough.
Cook the burgers over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the burgers while keeping the inside juicy.
Don't overcook the burgers: Overcooked burgers are tough and dry. Cook the burgers until they are just cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare burgers.
Let the burgers rest before serving: Letting the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving allows the juices to redistribute throughout the burgers, making them more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Hawaiian grilled hamburgers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With their juicy beef patties, sweet pineapple, and smoky bacon, these burgers are sure to be a hit with everyone.
