Hawaiian Turkey Burgers

Recipe by Chef Shannon Tchuiment

INGREDIENTS

1 pound lean ground turkey breast

1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped

1/2 tsp ground ginger

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 cup panko bread crumbs

1/2 cup low/no sugar honey barbeque sauce

1 can (8 oz.) DOLE® Canned Pineapple Slices, drained and 1/4 cup juice reserved

DIRECTIONS

Combine turkey, bread crumbs, onion, spices and pineapple juice in a medium sized mixing bowl.

Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Form meat mixture into 4 evenly sized burger patties.

Cook burgers in a frying pan for 6-7 minutes on the first side. Flip burgers and cook until meat is no longer pink and internal temperature reaches 165° Fahrenheit, about 10-12 minutes. Baste the tops of the burgers with 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce during the final 2 minutes of cooking.

Remove burgers from heat to a plate and keep warm. In the same pan, heat the pineapple slices over medium-low heat for two minutes on each side, basting with the remaining BBQ sauce.

Serve on toasted hamburger buns or for a low carbohydrate option, lay on a bed of greens.
