Hawaiian Turkey Burgers

wife2abadge's Note:

Makes the usually bland ground turkey breast very tasty. I think I got this from a Taste of Home publication -- it originally called for regular ground turkey, but I use ground turkey breast to make it lower in calories and fat.

I made these for Bunco last night and everyone wanted the recipe. The only changes I made are that I used fresh pineapple and instead of basting with teriyaki sauce I used Fischer & Wieser's Mango Ginger Habanero Sauce.

Very good! I used yellow peppers instead of red and ground chicken instead of turkey. I really liked the grilled pineapple served with each burger instead of the usual tomato. Will make again.
