Turkey Burgers With Salsa image

This is one of our family's favorites, and it's pretty healthy, too. I usually double the recipe because it reheats beautifully. I haven't tried to freeze the burgers, but I don't know why that wouldn't work.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 lbs ground turkey
2 tablespoons cornmeal
2 (3 ounce) cans chopped green chilies, divided
1 tablespoon lime juice, fresh is best but bottled will work
1 egg whites or 1 egg
3 teaspoons cumin, divided
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 cup frozen whole kernel corn or 1 (14 ounce) can whole kernel corn, well drained
1 (14 ounce) can crushed tomatoes or 14 ounces diced tomatoes

Steps:

  • In a large bowl and using your hands mix together the ground turkey, cornmeal, 1 can of the green chilis, lime juice, egg white (or egg), 2 teaspoons cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper.
  • Form turkey mixture into 4 or 5 patties.
  • Heat canola oil in a large fry pan, or if making a double recipe an electric griddle works great.
  • Fry patties about 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until no longer pink in the middle. If making a double batch, as patties are cooked, keep warm in a 150 degree oven on a heat-proof plate.
  • Meanwhile, in a small sauce pan, combine the crushed tomatoes, corn, 1 can chopped green chilis and 1 teaspoons cumin.
  • Heat the "salsa" until bubbly and thoroughly hot.
  • Serve patties with salsa spooned over the top.
