Terrific Teriyaki Burgers
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

This was so good! I even pulled out the grill on a Minnesota February day to make these! Was so good in fact, I made them the next day inside on the stove top. Good either way! Only down side was that the meat paddies wanted to fall apart when flipping them over. The taste however, is delicious whether in paddy form or loose crumbles!
I didn't have any problem with these crumbling and we thought the flavor was delicious!
I also had the same problem as others with consistency and the burgers fall apart on the grill, so I cooked the remaining burgers on the stovetop. Aside from them falling apart, the flavor was absolutely delicious! I will certainly try this recipe again and play around with the ingredients to perfect the consistency. I may also give BarbieHart's suggestion a try and freeze them first. Definitely worth a second try!
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.
Made just as listed, they were delicious!
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.
Sorry 10sChick you were right! That had to be the WORST burger I have EVER had in my LIFE!!! Absolutely the worst!!! I've been a succsess for over 40+ years...I wil never follow another recipe frome this site again,,, infact I am cancelining my subscription and marking the taste of home as SPAM!!!
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.
