Ingredients

• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 pound ground chicken
• 6 leaves lettuce
• 6 slices tomato
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, or to taste
• 2 stalks green onion, sliced
• 2 tablespoons ketchup, or to taste
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil, or as needed
• 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce, or more to taste
• 1 cup minced bell pepper
• 1 teaspoon pink salt
• 6 medium brioche or hamburger buns
• 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.5 cup drained crushed pineapple

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix ground chicken, bell pepper, pineapple, garlic, 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce, green onion, salt, and ginger together in a bowl. Make 6 equally portioned balls out of the mixture.

Step 2

Heat a large cast iron or ceramic nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add avocado oil to the hot skillet and heat for 3 minutes. Place 2 to 3 balls into the skillet and flatten out with a spatula; cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the skillet and repeat to cook remaining burgers.

Step 3

Place burgers on buns with lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, ketchup, and more teriyaki sauce if desired.
