Golden flecks of pineapple give these burgers a touch of sweetness, while the ginger root adds some spice. Ground chicken works well in this recipe, too. Ingredients:
1/4 cup ketchup |
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
1 tablespoon unsweetened crushed pineapple |
1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh gingerroot |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil |
burgers: |
1 egg white, lightly beaten |
1/3 cup dry bread crumbs |
3 green onions, chopped |
2 tablespoons unsweetened crushed pineapple |
3/4 pound ground turkey or beef |
3/4 pound lean ground turkey |
6 slices unsweetened pineapple |
6 hamburger buns, split and toasted |
6 lettuce leaves |
6 slices tomato |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple, ginger, garlic and sesame oil; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the egg white, bread crumbs, onions, crushed pineapple and 3 tablespoons reserved ketchup mixture. Crumble beef and turkey over mixture and mix well. Shape into six burgers.
3. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 165° and juices run clear, brushing occasionally with remaining ketchup mixture.
4. Grill or broil pineapple slices for 2-3 minutes on each side or until heated through. Serve burgers and pineapple on buns with lettuce and tomato. Yield: 6 servings.
