Hawaiian Turkey Burgers

     About 2½ years ago I became really interested in food blogs and spent a lot of time reading them and finding new recipes I wanted to try.  When I told my sister that, she told me that I should check out Dashing Dish.  She said the sister of a girl that she had a college class with created the website and made all sorts of healthy versions of foods we love!  I checked it out and really liked her site, and quite a few of her recipes as well.  This was one of my favorites though (and still is)!  We all know turkey burgers are good for you, but that wasn't enough to convince my husband.  The only way I can get my husband to eat a turkey burger is if I make this recipe, which is not a problem for me since these are so simple and delicious!  This time I accidentally bought the mesquite marinade, but they still tasted delicious!

1 lb. ground turkey
4 tbs. teriyaki marinade (I use the kroger brand)
½ tsp. garlic powder
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper
½ tsp. sugar
4 pineapple rings (I prefer using fresh pineapple to canned)
4 hamburger buns

In a bowl, use your hands to combine the first six ingredients.  Form into four even sized patties.  Place patties on the grill and cook until to longer pink, flipping once.  At the same time, place fresh pineapple slices on the grill (you may even want to make a few extra just to eat!).  Place each patty on a bun and top with pineapple slice.  My husband also adds ketchup to his!
