20-oz package extra lean ground turkey breast (if your ground turkey doesn’t specify that it’s the breast than count on it being as high in fat as beef)
2 TB low sodium soy sauce
¼ cup red bell pepper, chopped
¼ tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp thyme seasoning
4 pineapple slices, approx ½ inch thick
½ cup shredded carrot (we love red carrots for their vibrant color, as photographed here)
½ cup shredded beets
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium.
In a large bowl, combine turkey, soy sauce, bell pepper, black pepper, and thyme. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together carrots and beets.
Evenly distribute turkey mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties.
Place patties and the pineapple slices on the grill.
After about 8 minutes, flip the burgers and the pineapple slices (the grill side of the turkey should be brown).
After another 3-4 minutes, remove pineapple slices and place one slice on top of each burger.
Keep on the grill for another 4-5 minutes and remove from grill. (Be sure meat is thoroughly cooked and not pink).
Place the burgers on a plate on top of a whole wheat bun.
Top with carrot/ beet mixture, evenly dividing between the burgers.
Serve with a salad or a side of steamed veggies. Enjoy!
