I love a good burger.  I especially love a good burger that I can feel good about eating.  The turkey burger is perfect for that -- but it can be so bland and so dry.  This recipe takes care of all those problems.  There are a couple of things to keep in mind -- first the chipotle in adobo sauce.  Comes in little cans and of course you don't use it up with one dish.  I keep the rest in the freezer -- that way it stays fresh, and I can just use it as I need it in recipes later.  Making a burger is easy -- it's important not to overmix it, especially with the turkey b/c it can make the meat tough.  These patties feel a little wet -- I was concerned about how they would hold up.  So I didn't use the grill.  I used a screaming hot cast iron skillet with a little olive oil - I felt that way I could get a good crust on the burgers, and it would help keep it together.  And it worked.

These are delicious turkey burgers.  Tender and juicy.  The mayo imparts some much needed moisture and fat to the patties.  Do NOT fear the chipotles.  They do not make these burgers hot or spicy at all -- they just take away the blandness of the turkey.

Highly recommend -- simple, relatively healthy and quick -- try it!
