Steps:
- Mix together the drained pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, and garlic powder together in a large plastic zipper bag, and smush the bag a few times with your hands to mix the marinade and dissolve the sugar. Place the pork chops into the marinade, squeeze out any air in the bag, seal it, and refrigerate overnight. Reserve the pineapple rings.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove the chops from the marinade, shaking off excess, and grill until browned, the meat is no longer pink inside, and the meat shows good grill marks, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Brush several times with marinade and let the marinade cook onto the surface of the meat. Discard excess marinade. While the meat is grilling, place 4 pineapple rings onto the grill, and allow to cook until hot and the slices show grill marks; serve the chops topped with the grilled pineapple rings.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use thick-cut pork chops (at least 1 inch thick).
- To ensure even cooking, bring the pork chops to room temperature before grilling.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the pork chops in a grill pan over medium heat.
- To make the glaze, use fresh pineapple juice. Bottled pineapple juice will work in a pinch, but it won't have the same flavor.
- If you don't have turmeric, you can substitute another spice, such as curry powder or cumin.
- Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
Grilled pork chops with pineapple turmeric glaze are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. The pork chops are juicy and flavorful, and the glaze is sweet and tangy. This dish is perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight dinner.
