Step 1

Preheat a grill to medium or medium high (I set my pellet grill to 375 degrees F).

Step 2

In a large bowl, add the ground turkey, egg, bread crumbs, onion, teriyaki sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Combine well (I dig in with my hands until it's evenly combined).

Step 3

Form six burgers (or more, see note below) about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 4

If meat tends to stick to the grates of your grill, brush the grates with oil or lightly brush both sides of the turkey burgers with oil.

Step 5

Grill the burgers about six minutes on the first side, flip, baste with teriyaki sauce and grill another 4-6 minutes until cooked through (instant read thermometer registers 165 degrees F).

Step 6

Once the burgers are flipped, add the pineapple to the grill and grill 4-5 minutes, flipping once. Optional: brush pineapple with teriyaki sauce during last few minutes of grilling.

Step 7

Serve the turkey burgers on buns with additional teriyaki sauce, lettuce and Swiss cheese (optional). Burgers are delicious served without a bun, too.
