Teriyaki Turkey Burgers Recipe

teriyaki sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

💰Cheaper: honey + soy sauce

Low-sodium soy sauce reduces sodium intake while honey adds sweetness.

burger buns

🥗Healthier: whole grain buns

💰Cheaper: plain sandwich bread

Whole grain buns offer more fiber, while sandwich bread is often cheaper.

mayonnaise

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt is lower in calories and adds creaminess.

pineapple slices

🥗Healthier: fresh pineapple

💰Cheaper: canned pineapple

Fresh pineapple is healthier, while canned is often less expensive.

Combine ground turkey, less sodium teriyaki sauce, mayonnaise, lime juice, sriracha, grated cucumber, shredded carrots, and chopped cilantro in a bowl.

Mix the ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Form the mixture into burger patties, about 1 inch thick.

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat, using nonstick cooking spray.

Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Toast the sandwich buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun.

Place the cooked turkey patty on the bottom bun.

Top with additional toppings if desired, and cover with the top half of the bun.
