Instructions
Prepare a grill to medium hot heat.
For burgers: Gently combine turkey, egg, ginger, garlic, and lime juice. In a separate small mixing bowl, combine burger spices, then add and gently mix to meat mixture. Form six burger patties and set aside.
Oil grill with vegetable oil. Place pineapple slices on grill and grill for four minutes on each side, until slightly charred. Remove from grill and set aside. Re-oil grill, if necessary, and place burgers on grill, turning once approximately six minutes on each side or until cooked through.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine mango, cabbage mix and cilantro. In a small bowl, combine remaining dressing ingredients and toss with cabbage, mango and cilantro mixture.
During the last few minutes of burger cooking, carefully place the rolls, cut side down, on the outer edges of the rack to toast lightly.
Assemble burgers on bun with slaw for a topping.
