Do you typically feel heavy, bloated and exhausted after eating a burger? Well kiss those feelings goodbye and try this delicious grilled pineapple turkey burger recipe! Using turkey breast is a great substitute for the traditional beef because it is a lot leaner and is higher in protein.

Ingredients 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 1/4 cup red bell pepper, chopped 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

1 tsp thyme seasoning 4 pineapple slices, approx 1/2 inch thick 1/2 cup shredded carrot (we love red carrots for their vibrant color, as photographed here) 1/2 cup shredded beets

Directions 1. Preheat the grill to medium. 2. In a large bowl, combine turkey, soy sauce, bell pepper, black pepper, and thyme. Mix well until thoroughly combined. 3. In a separate bowl, mix together carrots and beets.

4. Evenly distribute turkey mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties. 5. Place patties and the pineapple slices on the grill. 6. After about 8 minutes, flip the burgers and the pineapple slices.

7. After another 3-4 minutes, remove pineapple slices and place one slice on top of each burger. 8. Keep on the grill for another 4-5 minutes and remove from grill. (Be sure meat is thoroughly cooked and not pink). 9. Place the burgers on a plate on top of a whole wheat bun.

10. Top with carrot/ beet mixture, evenly dividing between the burgers. 11. Serve with a salad or a side of steamed veggies. Enjoy!
