2 teaspoons minced garlic (from 1 to 2 cloves)
2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
Kosher salt
Vegetable oil, for grill
8 thin slices pineapple (from 1/2 cored pineapple)
4 King's Hawaiian Sweet hamburger buns or brioche buns

1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/2 jalapeño or serrano pepper, chopped (ribs and seeds removed for less heat, if desired)

Makes the usually bland ground turkey breast very tasty. I think I got this from a Taste of Home publication -- it originally called for regular ground turkey, but I use ground turkey breast to make it lower in calories and fat.
