Description

Ingredients

• 1 lb lean ground turkey
• 1/4 cup grated carrots
• 1/4 cup sliced scallions
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 2 tablespoons honey
• pineapple rings
• lettuce leaves
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce

Directions

• In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey with grated carrots, sliced scallions, ground ginger, minced garlic and soy sauce.
• Form mixture into 4 equal sized patties, trying not to overwork the meat so it doesn’t get tough. Place burgers on a plate and chill in the fridge while you make the teriyaki sauce.
• To make the teriyaki sauce, combine the cornstarch and cold water in a small jar; set aside.
• Mix soy sauce, orange juice and honey in a small saucepan over medium-low heat; bring to a boil and simmer until sauce reduces, about 10 minutes. Add cornstarch/water mixture and simmer until thick, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
• When ready to make the burgers, heat the grill to medium-high heat. Spray both sides of the turkey burgers with a light coating with non-stick cooking spray. Place the patties on the grill and cook for 1-2 minutes before flipping to the other side. Every few minutes, turn the turkey burgers and baste with the teriyaki sauce about 7-8 minutes total on each side or until the turkey burgers are cooked all the way through. While the burgers are cooking, grill the pineapple slices for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, basting with the teriyaki sauce once.
• To serve, place a turkey burger on a large lettuce leaf. Top each burger with a grilled slice of pineapple. If desired, serve with spicy sriracha mayonnaise. To make the sriracha mayo, combine the mayo and sriracha.
