Back to TopGood, although a little dry. We added black beans to the burgers and the salsa. I would suggest adding guacamole or avocado and a little hot sauce.

Excellent and easy. Omitted the chips altogether and added goat cheese. Cheated and used Trader Joe's corn salsa on top. Moist and delicious.

My child is gluten sensitive so this is a great solution. I didn't have chili powder but substituted scallions and salsa and they were a big hit

This is one of the best burger recipes I have found. they have a smokey flavor and are just delicious. Everyone just loved them. I served them on toasted buns with a sauce I had made the day before, a black bean and avocado salsa. My husband said to be sure and save this recipe because he would like to have it again soon.

I wanted to try something different from plain old turkey burger and this was a quick recipe with a unique flavor. I will definitely make it again.

These turkey burgers are O.K., but not great. I will, however, probably make them again because they are pretty healthy and easy to prepare. The cumin flavor was a little strong for us, so I'll probably cut back on it next time. I made my own salsa with our garden fresh corn and tomatoes. It went well with the burgers.

We really enjoyed these! Didn't make the Corn Salsa but topped with Pepper Jack, Salsa, Sour Cream and a sprig of fresh Cilantro. These will go into our burger rotation.

Love this recipe! Perfect for an easy weeknight meal. Simple, but complex flavor that is unusual for turkey burgers, which I often find bland. I usually add worcestershire sauce to the turkey mix and top the burgers with homemade guacamole in lieu of salsa.

Nice flavor. Easy weekday meal. A bit different from the norm, which is nice.

这是一个很好的配方。而不是莎莎和corn, I used home made guacamole (from the mango pomegranate guacamole recipe on here) to top them as well as some shredded cheddar cheese. I used an egg like others recommended in the turkey mix. I also used tortillas to make turkey burger wraps. Very good! Next time I'll use maybe 3/4 or half the amount of chili powder recommended. That was a little overpowering and I didn't taste some of the other ingredients. Overall this is a nice alternative to your normal burger.

So, reduced the recipe since I only had 1/2 lb of meat and I subbed regular breadcrumbs for the chips, but otherwise made it as prescribed. The burgers were dry and disgusting. Maybe I cooked them too long or something. Probably would not try again, though.

Very good! Really good way to use turkey. I just made corn on the side because it was so fresh at the market.....salsa was a nice addition.

DELISH -- and super easy. I topped mine with guacamole rather than making the corn salsa. I omitted the salt altogether as I felt the chips were salty enough.
