Instructions

Preheat gas grill to medium-high. To make patties, combine the turkey, orange juice, orange zest, Dijon mustard,, cider vinegar, brown sugar, olive oil, garlic and sesame seeds. Mix well, cover and set aside for about 30 minutes. Well waiting for the meat, make the Marinade for the vegetables. In a small bowl combine orange juice, orange zest, Dijon mustard, cider vinegar, brown sugar, olive oil, garlic and sesame seeds. Slice onion, peppers and cube pineapple, add to marinade over and set aside. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and form the portions to fit the rolls. Brush the grill rack with oil. Place patties on the rack and grill until browned on the bottoms 4-5 minutes. While patties are grilling, take the tin foil and the vegetables. Place the veggies in the middle on the tin foil, pour half the liquid over the veggies, and close the foil making a pouch. And place on the grill. Turn the patties and continue to grill until the patties reach 180 degrees, about 8-10 minutes. During the last few minutes of cooking, split rolls in half, brush cut sides with oil. Place rolls cut side down, on the outer edge of the rack until lightly toasted. To assemble the burgers, place the patties on bottom of the rolls, place vegetable mixture on top of patties. Add the roll tops and serve. Makes 6 burgers.
