Ingredients
Mayo:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons sauce from canned chipotles in adobo sauce
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Burgers:
1 pound lean ground turkey
1/4 cup canned creamed corn (see Cook’s Note)
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1/4 cup minced onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Cooking spray
4 slices Monterey Jack cheese
4 brioche hamburger buns
Lettuce, tomato, and avocado, for topping
Directions
- Make the mayo: In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, adobo sauce, lime juice, and salt. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
- Make the burgers: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, creamed corn, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper. Using your hands, mix together the ingredients just until combined. Shape the mixture into four patties.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then coat the skillet with cooking spray. Add the patties and cook for 5 minutes on one side, then flip them and cook until they are no longer pink and have reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, an additional 10 minutes. Top each burger with a slice of cheese.
- Spread a portion of the chipotle mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Top the mayo with a burger, then add lettuce, tomato, avocado, and the top half of the bun and serve.
Cook’s Note
Leftover creamed corn can be sealed in a plastic bag or airtight container and frozen for up to 1 month.
