Hawaiian Turkey Burgers

The best part of this recipe is that it's just not super delicious, but it's super healthy as well--low in calories and fat and high in lean protein.

1 lb. lean ground turkey

1/2 c. (plus more if you need it) dry bread crumbs

1/2 c. red or green bell pepper, minced (about 1/2 medium bell pepper)

1/2 c. thinly sliced green onion

1 tsp. finely chopped fresh ginger root

1 small can pineapple slices; reserve juice

1/2 tsp. Kosher salt

Thick Teriyaki sauce (like Kikkoman )

Light mayonnaise (optional, but very yummy!)

Hamburger buns

Gently combine turkey, bread crumbs, bell pepper, green onion, ginger, 1/4 c. reserved juice from pineapple, and salt. Form into 4 deliciously large patties. Chill until ready to cook.

If you can, pop these puppies on the grill until done; otherwise, you could put these under the broiler in your oven, a grill pan on your stovetop, or just a frying pan. If desired, grill pineapple in last 5 minutes of cooking. Baste burgers with Teriyaki sauce during last two minutes of grilling. Spread buns with light mayonnaise and a little more Teriyaki sauce. Enjoy!
