Directions
For the salsa: In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients and stir them together. Cover the container and chill the salsa until ready to use.
For the burgers: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

This dish is a regular for us, we make it 2 or 3 times a month. Very flavorful, juicy, a little crunchy. My husband is surprised it's turkey.

Love it! I added some mild chilies diced to the burgers for some extra depth of flavor. Thank you they're a keeper.

The burgers are very small but filling. 1.25 # of turkey turns out to be less a 2.5 oz burger. I used the 99% fat free ground turkey and since the recipe did not say my burgers were a little dry. I froze half of them since it is only me and I cook for the week. These were okay but not great and I am a great cook so not sure what I am missing compared to the rave reviews. I made the burgers exactly to the recipe. Not sure I'll try these again. The corn salsa is nothing new and I have made this before.
