Teriyaki Pineapple Turkey Burgers

20 oz. can pineapple slices
1/2 c. Kikkoman Teriyaki Baste & Glaze OR Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce
2 lbs. ground turkey OR chicken
1 tsp. fresh ginger, grated
1/2 c. panko bread crumbs
8 slices cheddar or monterey jack cheese
8 whole grain hamburger buns

Drain pineapple; reserve 1/2 cup juice. Stir together teriyaki sauce and reserved pineapple juice in small bowl. Mix together turkey, ginger, bread crumbs and 1/4 cup teriyaki mixture. Shape into 8 patties. Grill patties, brushing with remaining teriyaki mixture, until desired doneness. Place pineapple slices on grill and cook until lightly golden brown. Serve burgers on buns with cheese and pineapple.

Note: I cut back on the pineapple juice. In my opinion, it needs a stronger teriyaki flavor than this creates.
