Everybody wants to eat healthy but they don’t want to sacrifice taste for healthiness. I have found and tweaked the perfect teriyaki turkey burger.
What you need
- 5 oz ground turkey
- 2 Tbsp teriyaki sauce
- 1 slice fresh pineapple
- 1 thick slice of red onion
- 1 whole-wheat buns - Toasted
- 1/4 jalapeño, sliced thin
- 1 slice of Swiss cheese
The Procedure
- Have you butcher grind the turkey into medium grind which will make the juiciest burgers.
- Take the meat out of the refrigerator 1 hour prior to cooking. When the burger is at room temperature it tends to cooky more even.
- Use high heat. “If you don’t hear the sizzle when it hits the grill, you’re screwed.” Cook for 3 to 4 minutes a side, the burger should feel soft and springy.
- Add the slice of swiss cheese at the end of cooking and let the burger sit for about 4 minutes to allow the juices to settle.
In The End
I just made this burger last night and it turned out excellent. Please leave comments on your alterations or sauce recommendations. If you have a original recipe that you would like to add to this site please contact me.
