Teriyaki Burgers Topped With Grilled Pineapple
Description
Teriyaki Burgers Topped With Grilled Pineapple are made by mixing ground turkey with teriyaki sauce, egg, ginger, and Japanese-style panko bread crumbs. The panko adds texture and helps keep the patties from falling apart during cooking. After shaping the patties, they're grilled or pan-fried until cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
Fresh pineapple slices are grilled alongside the patties, caramelizing their natural sugars and complementing the savory burger flavors. The combination delivers a juicy burger with a subtle sweetness and a slight tang from the pineapple, enhanced by the marinade's seasoning.
The burgers are served on hamburger buns and can be dressed with mustard, mayonnaise, avocado, jalapeños, or other preferred condiments, allowing customization to taste. The mixture tends to be wet but grills firmly, making the recipe straightforward for turkey burger enthusiasts.
For convenience, patties can be frozen for up to an hour before grilling to help maintain their shape. Grilling the pineapple separately ensures it heats properly without overcooking the meat.
