Turkey Burgers With Salsa - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    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 (14 ounce) can whole kernel corn, well drained
    1 (14 ounce) can crushed tomatoes or 14 ounces diced tomatoes
Preparation
    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.
