Teriyaki Burgers with Grilled Pineapple

Ben and i've a new addition to our family: a real, grown-up grill! It changed into just introduced final week, and my immediate response became to devise two BBQ dinners,  nights in a row. on the menu for each: Teriyaki Burgers with Grilled Pineapple.

although our grill is new, this family isn't any stranger to burgers, in particular burgers made with ground hen and turkey. i love that they're leaner than beef burgers and, if carried out properly, can be simply as enjoyable.

if your experience with turkey burgers up thus far has been bland patties that are greater paying homage to a hockey p.c. than a juicy burger worth of its bun, those Teriyaki Burgers will change your thoughts. They’re sweet and tangy, lots moist, and certain to delight even the staunchest of pork eaters.
