Today's Menu: Teriyaki Pineapple Turkey Burgers and Roasted Red Pepper Mayonnaise w/ Potato Pancakes
It would have been nice to be able to fire up the outside grill for the burger but due to snow and cold I had to pan fry it. I used Canola Oil to fry it and fried it about 4 minutes per side. To make the burger you'll need; 1/2 Cup Kikkoman Less Sodium Teriyaki Marinade and Sauce, divided, 1 Dole Pineapple slice (drained reserve 1/4 cup juice), 1/4 lb Honeysuckle White Extra Lean Ground Turkey (99/1), 1/8 tsp fresh Ginger (grated), and 1/4 Cup Panko Bread Crumbs. the original recipe made 4 burgers i broke it down to make 2, 1 for lunch tomorrow. When frying the burger keep a close eye on it because it start to burn due to the Teriyaki Sauce.
To prepare it just stir together Kikkoman Teriyaki Marinade and reserved pineapple juice in a small bowl. Remove 2 tablespoons sauce for burgers. Mix together the turkey, ginger,Panko Bread Crumbs and 2 tablespoons Teriyaki mixture. Shape into patties. Fry or Grill pattie, brushing with remaining Teriyaki mixture until desired doneness. Place pineapple slices on grill and cook until lightly golden brown. Serve burger on buns with, Roasted Red Pepper Mayonnaise, Cheese and Pineapple. This makes one fine and juicy burger! The Teriyaki Sauce is perfect with the Turkey and Pineapple and the Roasted Red Pepper Mayonnaise gives it that bang of a taste.
To make the Roasted Red Pepper Mayonnaise you'll need; 1/3 cup Hellman's Light Mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons chopped Roasted Sweet Red Peppers, 1/2 teaspoon grated Lemon peel, and 1/8 teaspoon Sea Salt. Just make this ahead of time and refrigerate it. Mix all the ingredients until completely mixed and store. For a side with my burger I had some of those fantastic Potato Pancakes leftover. I just put them in skillet on medium low and warmed through. I've left the recipes at the end of the post. For dessert/snack later some Triscut Reduced Fat Crackers with slices of Sargento Reduced Fat Sharp Cheddar Cheese.
