Mexican Turkey Burgers

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1 medium onion, finely chopped
* 1 medium green bell pepper, finely chopped
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 cup salsa
* 1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
* 1 pound ground turkey
* 1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
* 1/3 cup dry bread crumbs
* 6 (10 inch) flour tortillas
* 6 tablespoons sour cream
* 2 cups shredded lettuce


DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Coat a medium baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and saute the onion, green pepper, and garlic 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and cool slightly.
3. In a small bowl, mix the salsa and 1/2 the corn. In a large bowl, mix the onion mixture with the turkey, taco seasoning, and 2 tablespoons of the salsa mixture. Divide into 6 patties, and press into the breadcrumbs to lightly coat on all sides. Arrange coated patties in the prepared baking dish.
4. Bake the patties 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Drain any liquid from the dish, turn patties, and spread with the remaining salsa mixture. Continue baking 10 minutes, to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).
5. Warm the tortillas in the microwave, about 30 seconds on High. Wrap the cooked turkey patties in the warmed tortillas with sour cream and lettuce. Sprinkle with remaining corn to serve.
