Mini Hawaiian Burgers
These are great burgers for a luau or any backyard gathering. I came up with this while trying to find something new that my husband would enjoy. He had no idea they were turkey burgers, and now he asks for them all the time! —Kathleen Manasian, Whitmore Lake, Michigan

I made these burgers and used a drained can of chunky mixed fruit which I crushed in my food processor. I also used Italian turkey sausage (casings removed). The juice from the mixed fruit, I reserved for the sauce-I used Hickory Smoked BBQ sauce. I used the balance of this sauce for leftover chili and one regular yellow onion, chopped fine. The seasoning blend, I substituted a sweet and smoky rub. I broiled the burgers longer-between 5 to 10minutes on each side until browned. I did top the burgers with some of the sauce mixturebefore broiling! delowenstein
We Used Beef Instead Of Turkey And Used Tomato Sause Instead Of Ketchup And Used A Different Seasoning But They Were THE BOMB!!!
Delicious! I'll be making this one again, for sure. I used spicy pork sausage instead of chorizo, and I made the burgers ~1/4lb instead of minis. King's Hawaiian makes sweet bread hamburger buns, and they were perfect with the larger burgers.However, unless you are serving these with fries, I'd recommend making about half the amount of ketchup mixture if you don't want extra - each burger only required about 1 Tbsp of sauce (less than that for minis), and I wound up with a lot of extra ketchup mixture the first time I prepared this recipe.
This has become a family favorite. For our tastes, I reduced the amount of chorizo to about 1/4 lb.
