I’m always wanting to find new ways to use ground turkey! This will be great, because so far all I had come up with was using it in chili. thanks

I’m using this with crab meat tonight, I think it’ll turn out great! Thanks for sharing!
I made tonight so yummy 🙂
Fail. Way too much liquid to grill. Maybe in the broiler these might hold together. But I threw the, on the weber and they virtually disintegrated. And I make turkey burgers all the time
Would recommend maybe diced pineapple in lieu of the juice. Or more binder which would kind of defeat the purpose
These burgers are the best!! I mix mayo, teriyaki and Siracha and spread on buns.
I made this tonight. Great switch up from my regular turkey burgers. I did not have teriyaki so I made this one from scratch….I also used diced pineapple as that is what I had and placed it on the burgers just before melting the Swiss cheese.
I didn’t have a problem at all. They were perfect and moist.
These were sooooo good! They will def be a staple on our weekly menus! I just love warm pineapple and the burgers are moist and flavorful! I used havarti cheese rather then Swiss. So yummy!!
Darn! We followed the recipe exactly (and triple checked) but ours just fell apart on the grill and were mushy. I wonder if we should have added egg to hold it together. The flavor was great… but the texture ?.
Fun flavor combination but my burgers didn’t stay together and were a crumbly mess. Not sure where I went wrong?
You could try adding an egg to help bind all of the ingredients together. It will not change the taste.
