SAVOUR MANITOBA | SUMMER 24 33 THIS RECIPE PAIRS BEST WITH AUNTIE BEA'S PEACH COLD BREWED TEA Teriyaki Turkey Burgers with Grilled Pineapple PREPARE THE TERIYAKI SAUCE: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the reserved 1/4 cup pineapple juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, BeeMaid Honey, garlic and ginger. Cover and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, remove the lid and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. While waiting for the sauce to boil, whisk together the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl to make a slurry. Add the slurry to the boiling sauce, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional minute until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat. PREPARE THE PATTIES: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, panko, garlic, ginger, black pepper, cilantro and 3 tablespoons of the teriyaki sauce. Mix until just combined, being careful not to compact the meat. Shape the mixture into four 3/4-inch-thick patties. Place the patties in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. BBQ INSTRUCTIONS: Set aside some of the remaining teriyaki sauce for serving and reserve the rest for barbecuing the patties. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates. Grill the pineapple rings and red onion slices until caramelized and tender, about 3 minutes per side for the pineapple and 4 minutes per side for the red onion. If you have a BBQ with wide slatted grates, you might want to use a grill pan for this step. Grill the burgers for 4 minutes on the first side, then flip and brush with the reserved sauce. Grill for another 4 minutes, flip again, and brush the other side with sauce. Continue cooking until the burgers are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160 to 165 degrees F, about 10 minutes total. Remove the burgers to a plate, cover and let rest for 5 minutes. If desired, grill the buns. SERVE: Serve the burgers inside the buns, brushed with the reserved teriyaki sauce and topped with grilled pineapple and red onion. For an extra hint of sweetness, add a final drizzle of BeeMaid Honey. Enjoy!
