1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder

Steps:

1. For sauce, in a small bowl stir together mayonnaise, sour cream, 1 clove minced garlic and black pepper. Cover and chill until serving time. 2. For burgers, in a large bowl, combine bread crumbs, water, 2 cloves minced garlic, chili powder, chipotle peppers, salt and 2 tablespoons water. Add ground raw turkey or chicken; mix well. Shape turkey mixture into 4, 3/4" thick patties. 3. Place patties on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill for 14-18 minutes or until no longer pink, turning once halfway through grilling. Remove patties from grill. 4. To serve, spread bottoms of rolls with adobo sauce. Top each with a turkey or chicken patty. Spoon mayonnaise-sour cream mixture over the top. Add lettuce leaves, tomato slices and if desired, avocado slices. Cover with roll on top.
