And the tropical eats continue with these Aloha Burgers with Island Jerk Pineapple!
Seriously, I have a problem. I have so many tropical recipe ideas floating around in my head.
It’s crazy. I am sorry if all this fruity tropical food is not your thing. For your sake, I will throw in some regular foods at some point here, but I can’t seem to stop. Tropical foods just make me happy.
For this reason, I am just going to put this out here right now. You know I always want to be upfront with you guys. I have a new disclaimer for the Half Baked Harvest site: From here until mid-August I cannot be held accountable for the large (possibly ridiculous) amount of fruit recipes posted on this site. Just warning ya.
Speaking of fruit and produce, I walked into the grocery store yesterday, and you guys – there was fresh and beautiful produce everywhere! Berries galore (and on sale too!) I bought raspberries for a dollar a pack! Obviously, I bought ten (duh). I bought fresh corn, peaches and nectarines (super early, I know, but they looked good), watermelon, cherries, and all kinds of greens. I practically bought the whole produce section.
So excited for all the color to be back in the stores. Very very exciting if you ask me!
Ok, ok, ok, but these burgers? Well, these are a summer cookout burger for sure. With Memorial Day coming, I figured it was time to start talking about all things cookout.
And yes, I know it was twenty degrees here all day yesterday. AND that it has snowed for the last three days. BUT… I also know that most of the world is enjoying spring, and for some even – summer temps (or at least I pray that you are – I would not wish this cold and snow upon anyone)! So cookout time it is!
Just a fun little side note, I totally grilled these in the middle of a snowstorm. It was cold and depressing 🙁
These burgers are all about the pineapple.
Yes, the pineapple. One, I am head over heels for pineapple right now, so I may be a bit biased. Probably not though, the stuff is so good. Let’s put it this way, it gets soaked in coconut rum, brown sugar, and jerk spices. Told you, so good.
Then there’s island teriyaki sauce, cheese, and bacon. Bacon because, well, islanders love their pork.
Bonus point if you make a fun drink and serve them out of real coconuts.
Best drink ever (no matter what’s inside).

First of all, I LOVE YOU AND ALL OF YOUR RECIPES! This was great! I had a ton of ground turkey laying around in my freezer and I wanted to make something unique with them. I will definitely make this again 🙂
Hey Aimee,
I am so glad the recipe was enjoyed, thank you for making it! xTieghan
Oh my goodness! I have become a half baked harvest super fan! I make a few of your recipes a week for my family and we are obsessed! Even my picky eater toddler tries everything I make! I made your 30 minute coconut masala last week and he was loving it! Thank you for creating so many delicious things!!!
Haha that is so amazing to hear! I hope you continue to love my recipes! Thank you! xTieghan
Your recipes are always fantastic but this burger was something extra special! By far the best burger I’ve ever had! And I used the leftover Island Teriyaki sauce on salmon the next night and it was a huge hit as well 🙂
That sounds so good! I am thrilled you loved these Teresa, Thanks!!
