The Hawaiian Teriyaki Burger is a delightful fusion of savory teriyaki flavors and juicy beef, topped with fresh pineapple and crunchy lettuce, creating a tropical twist on the classic American burger. This healthy version is grilled to perfection, making it a satisfying meal that's both flavorful and nutritious.

Ingredients

• Ground beef (lean, 80/20) - 250 grams
• Teriyaki sauce - 60 milliliters
• Pineapple rings (fresh or canned) - 2 pieces
• Whole wheat burger buns - 2 pieces
• Lettuce leaves (romaine or iceberg) - 2 pieces
• Avocado - 1/2 piece
• Red onion (sliced) - 1/4 medium
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon

• Salt - to taste

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix the ground beef with half of the teriyaki sauce, salt, and black pepper. Form into two patties.
2. Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
3. While the patties are cooking, grill the pineapple rings for about 2-3 minutes on each side until caramelized.
4. Toast the whole wheat burger buns on the grill or skillet for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
5. Assemble the burgers by spreading a layer of the remaining teriyaki sauce on the bottom bun, followed by the lettuce, the beef patty, grilled pineapple, avocado slices, and red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy Hawaiian Teriyaki Burger!
