Teriyaki Turkey Burger

For some reason I have an aversion to posting regular recipes. You know, the ones that use the ingredients already in my fridge. For some reason I feel recipes should be “blog-worthy” and impressive. But really, we all need some delicious and easy  every day recipes like this teriyaki turkey burger.  It’s a great weekday dinner recipe and brings a little summer into the kitchen. 

Now usually when I make recipes like this, burgers or meatballs or meatloaf, I just eyeball the seasoning. I sprinkle the spices I like. I keep going until I can  see little granules of spice. For this recipe I measured out teaspoons of spice, but I still recommend the old eyeball test.

Teriyaki Turkey burger with grilled pineapple

The burger is good as is, but you can kick it up a notch with a pineapple ring. Heat up a grill pan (or a skillet) and cook the pineapple until you have some brown lines. Top the burger and be delighted.

Two SpoonsMessy level: Two spoons. Yes, it’s basically dumping ingredients into the bowl, but you have to get your hands mucked up in the meat, which is why it’s a two spoon recipe.

Teriyaki Turkey Burgers
 
Prep time
Cook time
Total time
 
Serves: 5
Ingredients
  • 1 pound of ground turkey
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¾ cup of bread crumbs, divided
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup of teriyaki sauce (I used Trader Joe's Island Soyaki), plus some extra sauce for finishing
  • 5 slices of pineapple (I used canned, but by all means uses fresh)
  • 5 buns
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground turkey, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, ¼ cup of breadcrumbs. Add up to ¼ cup more of bread crumbs if the mixture is too wet and won't hold together. Use your hands to mix it all together.
  2. Add the egg and teriyaki sauce.
  3. Using your hands mix and mash and squish is all together. If the mixture feels too sticky, as in you can't really make a patty or it's all stuck to your hands, then add the remainder of the bread crumbs.
  4. Once everything is all mixed together, make patties! Mine were about ¾ of an inch thick.
  5. Heat a skillet on medium-high (or grill, or George Forman grill) and cook the burgers. Instead of using oil we cooked it in more teriyaki sauce to give the burgers more flavor - Do what you like.The burgers should take about 4-6 minutes per side.
  6. Optional: if you have a grill pan (or in your skillet, but you won't have lines) take the slices of pineapple and heat them. This shouldn't take long at all, it should be a quick sizzle, just enough to warm the pineapples and create those beautiful dark grill lines.
  7. Put the burgers and pineapples on the bun and then put a dollop of teriyaki in the hole of the pineapple. EAT!
  8. bit messier.
