TEX-MEX TURKEY BURGERS WITH CHIPOTLE MAYO



Tex-Mex Turkey Burgers with Chipotle Mayo image

Ground turkey has it rough in the reputation department. It's notoriously dry and flavorless, especially in burger form, and it's usually only preferred to beef when healthiness is a factor. But not for long! We can finally take back the bad rap of crumbly turkey burgers everywhere with these moist and juicy Tex-Mex-inspired patties, all thanks to a humble can of creamed corn. On the flavor front, we've got spices, herbs, veggies, cheese, and a chipotle mayo, so there's no chance this formerly blank canvas is going to be a bland burger.
