Ingredients
Serves: 4
- 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1 egg white

- 1 tablespoon soy sauce

- Whisk together the bread crumbs, egg white, onion, soy sauce, minced ginger, five-spice powder, ground ginger and pepper in a large bowl. Mix in turkey until just combined. Shape turkey mixture into four patties.
- Preheat the barbecue for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Cook until the patties are no longer pink in the centre, about 5 minutes per side for well done. Place a slice of Gouda cheese on each patty; continue cooking until cheese has melted, about 1 minute. While the turkey patties are cooking, place the pineapple rings on the barbecue until softened, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Assemble the burgers by placing a turkey patty on half of an hamburger roll and topping with the pineapple. Divide the spinach leaves evenly among the burgers then top with the other half of the roll.

These burgers are amazing. I omitted the fresh ginger (since I didn't have any) and added a little extra ground ginger. They're so delicious. My husband and daughter are extremely picky and they asked me to make these again. - 19 Jul 2010 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
These were AWESOME!! The only change I made was to use a little extra 5-Spice Powder, and these were so amazingly fantastic that my husband immediately asked when we would be having them again. I'm not normally a fan of turkey burgers, and even I was wolfing mine down! I cooked these on my George Foreman grill for 6 minutes, which was perfect, and served them on home-made onion buns with goat's milk gouda. My only complaint was that I couldn't really taste the pineapple (probably due to using canned instead of fresh). Next time, I will likely omit it and replace is with a dollop of a tangy barbeque sauce we like. Really fantastic recipe!!! ******Okay, it's now "next time!" This time, I added a little more 5-spice powder, replaced the gouda with smoked mozzarella (it's what I had) and made sure to use fresh pineapple instead of canned, and oh WOW, what a difference! The hubby and I agreed immediately that the fresh pineapple takes this to a whole another level. - 08 Feb 2012 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
These were absolutely delicious!!! I omitted the ground ginger and must used more fresh and I forgot to put the fresh spinach leaves on it - but the end result was incredible served with garlic mayo. I should note that I used ground chicken instead of ground turkey - we will definitely make these again! EDIT - I made these again and used ground turkey - the end result was still very good. This is easily my favorite turkey burger recipe! - 09 Feb 2011 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
