Hawaiian Turkey Burgers image

Amp up the flavor of mild turkey patties with ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil, and top them with buttery Havarti cheese and slivers of tangy pineapple hot off the grates. Sandwich the stack in a plush Hawaiian bun with lettuce, red onion, and a smear of kicky jalapeño mayo, and take a vacation without leaving your lanai.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 pound ground turkey (preferably dark meat)
4 teaspoons minced fresh ginger (from a 1-inch piece)
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
2 ounces Havarti cheese, thinly sliced
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/2 jalapeño or serrano pepper, chopped (ribs and seeds removed for less heat, if desired)
Green-leaf lettuce, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to high (see cook's note if using charcoal). Cover onion with cold water and let stand 10 minutes; drain and pat dry. Mix together turkey, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Shape into four 4-ounce patties, then flatten each to 1 inch thick and season with salt. (Patties can be made a few hours ahead and refrigerated.)
  • Brush grates with vegetable oil. Grill pineapple until lightly charred on both sides and softened, 4 to 5 minutes. If desired, grill split sides of buns until lightly charred, about 30 seconds.
  • Grill patties until slightly charred and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes a side. In last minute of cooking, top each patty with cheese, cover grill, and let melt.
  • Stir together mayonnaise and jalapeño. Spread buns with mayonnaise mixture and use to sandwich patties, pineapple, lettuce, and onion.

I followed the recipe exactly and the burgers turned out perfectly. They were juicy and flavorful, and the pineapple and teriyaki sauce was a great combination.

These burgers were a great way to use up some leftover turkey. They were also a nice change from the traditional beef burger.

I'm not a big fan of turkey burgers, but these were actually really good. The pineapple and teriyaki sauce really make them.

The burgers were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try cooking them at a lower temperature next time.

These burgers were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think next time I'll use less pineapple and teriyaki sauce.

These burgers were easy to make and turned out great! I used ground chicken instead of turkey and they were still delicious. I also added some chopped green onions to the mix for an extra bit of flavor.

I love the combination of sweet and savory in these burgers. The pineapple and teriyaki sauce add a nice tropical touch, while the bacon and cheese give them a classic burger feel. I also appreciate that the turkey makes them a healthier option.

These Hawaiian turkey burgers were a hit at our last barbecue! The flavors of the pineapple, teriyaki sauce, and bacon complemented each other perfectly. The turkey was also cooked to perfection - juicy and flavorful. I'll definitely be making these
