Hawaiian Turkey Burgers

Today I want to share one of my older son's favorite dinners.  He asks me to make these Hawaiian turkey burgers often.  They are super moist and have great flavor.  I prefer to eat mine over spinach but my boys like theirs on a bun.

 

Hawaiian Turkey Burgers

(recipe adapted from six sisters' stuff)

 

1 pound lean ground turkey

1/2 cup dry bread crumbs

1/4 cup red pepper chopped

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1 small can pineapple slices, reserve juice

4 slices co-jack cheese

Hamburger buns or spinach
Tomato
Avocado

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, combine turkey, bread crumbs, pepper, ginger, 1/4 cup reserved juice from pineapple.  Divide turkey mixture into 4 equal parts and form into patties.  Grill over medium until cooked through.  The last few minutes of cooking, place pineapple over heat to grill.  Place a slice of Co-jack cheese on top of each patty when warm.  Top with burgers and pineapple, tomato and avocado and serve on a bun or bed of spinach.
