Turkey Burgers with Tomato Corn Salsa
Recipe courtesy Sara Moulton, Sara Moulton Cooks at Home, Broadway Books, 2002

Ingredients
Salsa:
12 cherry tomatoes, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus additional kosher salt and freshly ground black
pepper, for seasoning
1/2 cup cooked fresh corn or thawed frozen corn kernels
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves
2 teaspoons olive oil
Additional kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Burgers:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 small red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 tablespoon store-bought or homemade Creole spice mix
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pound ground turkey
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions
To make the salsa: Toss the tomatoes with the salt and
drain in a colander for 15 minutes. Combine the tomatoes, corn, lime juice,
garlic, cilantro, and olive oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and
toss well.

To make the burgers: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat 1 tablespoon of the
oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and red pepper and cook,
until softened, about 5 minutes. Cool to room temperature.

Combine the onion, pepper, Creole spice mix, salt, and turkey in a large bowl.
Season with pepper. Mix well and form into 4 large patties. Heat the remaining
tablespoon of oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Place the burgers
in the skillet and cook until well browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to
the oven and cook until firm to the touch, about 6 minutes. Serve topped with the
salsa and with Ruthie's Summer Camp Zucchini and Oven Baked Rosemary
Chips.
