Pineapple Chipotle Turkey Burgers

Happy Friday folks!  So instead of my usual running jargon, I though I would share a recipe with you all :)  I've made these a few times, and LOVE them.  I thought it would be mean to keep them all to myself, so I wanted to let you guys in on 'em - you can thank me later.

1lb extra lean ground turkey ( I used Jenny O)
1/2 cup diced fresh pineapple ( if you cant use fresh make sure to get the canned kind in it's own juice, not the sugary gross syrup)
1 chipotle in adobo - chopped ( use less or more depending on how spicy you like it)
1T seasoning ( I used TJ's 21 Seasoning Salute, but a no-salt Mrs. Dash would work too)
1/4c. plain Panko bread crumbs
*I usually add about 1/4c. of feta cheese but didnt have any :(
*also, you can add an egg/egg white to hold it together more - but I usually dont



i think I ate half of the pineapple in the process, also, can you spy Stella?  No dog har got into the burgers...i think


Just mix all the ingredients in a bowl and form into patties.  I was able to get 4 4oz patties, and one larger one ( a little over 5oz I think).  It will also be a little sticky, so you dont want to mess with them too much.



ready for the grill

 Then just grill or cook however you want!  They can be a little fragile, so be careful when flipping them, and make sure to spray your grill or pan so they dont stick.

Then top with whatever you want!  Hummus or avacado are tasty options.
Enjoy!



served mine up on a whole wheat bun (homemade!), with green beans. yum!
