Hawaiian Turkey Burgers

i just realized on blogger making my photos x-large makes them blurry! so now they will be large from now on!
these burgers a freaking amazing! my husband said it was the best burger hes ever had he didn't even know they were turkey even though that's all i make. (he ate 5!) i found this recipe over at our best bites and they have this amazing teriyaki sauce i made myself instead of buying it. i love how thick it was! 

1 lb. lean ground turkey
1/2 c. dry bread crumbs
1/2 c. red or green bell pepper, minced (about 1/2 medium bell pepper)
1/2 c. thinly sliced green onion
1 tsp. finely chopped fresh ginger root
1 small can pineapple slices; reserve juice
1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
Thick Teriyaki sauce (like Kikkoman or this recipe)
4 hamburger buns 
Gently combine turkey, bread crumbs, bell pepper, green onion, ginger, 1/4 c. reserved juice from pineapple, and salt. Form into 4 deliciously large patties. Chill until ready to cook.
you could put these under the broiler in your oven, a grill pan on your stove top, or just a frying pan. If desired, grill pineapple in last 5 minutes of cooking. Baste burgers with Teriyaki sauce during last two minutes of cooking. i served it up with cilantro lime jasmine rice .
