Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, chopped onion, minced jalapeño, honey, smoked paprika, thyme, cumin, and salt. Mix until well incorporated.
  2. Form the mixture into 3-4 patties, making a slight well in the center of each.
  3. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
  4. Cook the patties for about 5 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 5 minutes.
  5. For the avocado crema, blend avocado, cilantro, sour cream, lime juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  6. Toast the hamburger buns cut-side down in the same skillet until golden brown.
  7. Assemble the burgers by spreading avocado crema on the bottom bun, adding a turkey patty, corn salsa, and topping with the other half of the bun.
