Preparing this recipe
- Remove the pineapple from the freezer and let it thaw on a plate.

- Heat the oil in a skillet, place the burger in the pan and add the bell pepper strips and red onion around it to cook alongside. Cook for about 8 minutes, flipping the burger halfway through.
- Remove the burger, bell pepper and onion from the pan. In the same pan, cook the pineapple pieces on high heat with the honey for about 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toast the pita bread in a toaster or grill pan.
- In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the remaining curry powder.
- Slice the pita bread open. Layer some mixed salad inside, followed by the turkey burger, pineapple, red onion and topping with the curry mayonnaise.
- Serve the pita on a plate with the remaining lettuce and roasted bell pepper strips on the side.
