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.

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.

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds ground turkey
¼ cup minced onion
¼ cup bread crumbs
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup teriyaki sauce, or as needed
6 (1/2 inch thick) slices fresh pineapple
6 hamburger buns
6 slices provolone cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Mix turkey, onion, bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Form mixture into 6 large patties, each about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Cook burgers on the preheated grill, basting occasionally with teriyaki sauce, until no longer pink in the center, about 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Meanwhile, grill pineapple slices until lightly charred, about 3 minutes per side. Do not overcook or pineapple will get mushy. Place hamburger buns, cut-sides down, on the grill. Grill until light golden brown, about 10 seconds.
  • Place burgers on toasted buns. Place a slice of provolone cheese and grilled pineapple atop each burger and serve.

Hawaiian Turkey Burgers Recipe image

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds lean ground turkey
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 green bell pepper (diced)
1 bunch green onions (sliced thin)
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple slices (reserve juice)
3/4 teaspoon salt
6 slices Swiss cheese

1/3 cup mayonnaise
6 hamburger buns

  • Divide turkey mixture into 6 equal parts and form into patties.
  • Grill, broil or cook in a frying pan over medium heat until cooked through. The last few minutes of cooking, place pineapple over heat to cook. Place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each patty when warm.
  • Spread 1 Tablespoon Teriyaki sauce and 1 Tablespoon light mayonnaise on buns and top with burgers and pineapple.

Tips:

  • For a smoky flavor, grill the turkey burgers instead of pan-frying them.
  • If you don't have pineapple rings, you can use crushed pineapple or pineapple tidbits.
  • Serve the turkey burgers on a bun with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese.
  • If you want a spicier burger, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the turkey mixture.
  • To make the burgers ahead of time, cook them and then let them cool completely. Store the burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months.
