If adding cheese, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty during the last minute of grilling to melt

While the burgers are cooking, toast the hamburger buns on the grill until lightly browned

To assemble the burgers, spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun

Place a lettuce leaf on top of the mayonnaise, followed by the turkey burger with or without cheese

Add a slice of pineapple, red onion rings, and any desired hamburger condiments on top of the burger patty
