Take your tastebuds on a tropical vacation with our mouth-watering burger. Lighter than a classic beef burger, the fresh pineapple and sweet and slightly spicy seasoning will have you feeling like you’re lounging on a beach.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450 g) lean ground turkey
  • 1 pkg General Tao Seasoning
  • 4 slices fresh pineapple
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 4 burger buns
  • 1 cup baby spinach

Preparation

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly brush with oil to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, combine turkey and seasoning. Form into 4 patties. (They will be sticky!).
  3. Grill patties, with lid closed, 6 min per side. While the patties are cooking, grill pineapple 3 min per side.
  4. During the last min of cooking, add 1 slice cheese to each patty. Slice buns and add to grill to toast.
  5. Tuck burgers into buns; top with pineapple, spinach, and additional toppings, if using.
