Ingredients
•
1 pound ground chicken
•
1 cup minced bell pepper
•
1/2 cup drained crushed pineapple
•
2 cloves garlic, crushed
•
2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce, or more to taste
•
2 stalks green onion, sliced
•
1 teaspoon pink salt
•
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
•
1 tablespoon avocado oil, or as needed
•
6 medium brioche or hamburger buns

6 leaves lettuce
•
6 slices tomato
•
2 tablespoons mayonnaise, or to taste

2 tablespoons ketchup, or to taste
Directions
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.
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.
3
Place burgers on buns with lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, ketchup, and more teriyaki sauce if desired.
