Recipe type: Main
Serves: 4 burgers
Ingredients
- For patties and cooked pineapple:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lb. lean ground turkey
- ¾ teaspoon salt, plus more for sprinkling
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¾ teaspoon dried cilantro, or 1 tablespoon freshly chopped
- 4 fresh pineapple rings, cored and cut ¼" thick
- For sriracha mayo:
- ¼ cup mayo
- 1½-2 teaspoons sriracha
- ¼ teaspoon finely minced garlic
- dash of salt
- dash of pepper
- For sandwich assembly:
- 4 gluten free buns, or other bread preference
- Teriyaki glaze (recipe on Breezy Bakes site)
- Sriracha mayo (recipe above)
- Fresh cilantro
- Avocado
- Arugula or spring mix lettuce
- Cooked pineapple slices (recipe above)
Directions
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cilantro. Using hands, mix until well combined. Form 4 patties about ½" thick. Lightly salt and pepper both sides of patties. Set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once skillet is hot enough that a drop of water sizzles, gently place patties in pan. Reduce heat to slightly below medium. Cook for 5 mins on each side or until cooked through.
- Remove patties from pan and place pineapple rings in same skillet. Cook for 2 minutes on each side until browned and tender.
- While patties are cooking, make sriracha mayo by combining all ingredients and mixing. You may also may teriyaki sauce while patties and pineapple are cooking.
- Prepare buns according to preference. I like to lightly butter and toast mine.
- Assemble burgers with desired toppings and sauces.
