Golden flecks of pineapple give these burgers a touch of sweetness, while the ginger root adds some spice. Ground chicken works well in this recipe, too. —Margaret Wilson, Hemet, California

I found these burgers an absolute delite! Delicious. I used all ground turkey and can't wait to try with chicken. I used a griddle to cook these burgers, as I don't have a grill, and didn't have a problem flipping the burgers. As to Chess, your reviews were extremely unprofessional and I feel sorry that you'll be missing out on all of the other wonderful recipes Taste of Home has to offer.

Anytime I use ground turkey I put them in the freezer before I cook them, sometime even partially freezing them. Then cook on grill and only turn over once, not "bothering" them so they won't fall apart. The more frozen they are the better. You won't have trouble anymore.

followed the receipe the first time I saw this and we enjoyed them. I now only use ground turkey or chicken and sometimes add fine chopped vegetables. Grandkids love them. They can be difficult to grill. I use a low or indirect heat, a well oiled grill, an oiled flipper and turn often. If you still have problems, try placing the patties on a cold, oiled metal cookie rack then on your grill. Less chance of patties falling thru.

It is obvious that 10schick may NOT know anything about cooking!

I haven't made this recipe, but for those of you who said the burgers didn't stay together, perhaps adding 1/4 cup of egg substitute would help them stay together without changing the taste.

I thought this was delicious! There is alot of pineapple. I broiled mine. If you want to tone down the pineapple you could eliminate the slice on top and maybe add some of the sauce as a dressing. I liked the sweet touch of the fruit.

This recipe is a joke. At least 50% of my burgers fell thru the grates and are on the bottom of the grill. What I salvaged looked like hash on the bun. If the flavor would have been better, I would have tried again maybe with alterations, but they were nothing special.

These burgers are great! We used all ground turkey, cooked them on the stovetop, and spread some of the ketchup mixture on the buns. Served with beer-battered onion rings, YUM.
