I used ground turkey instead of the chicken and it was great.I made some homemade hamburger buns to go with it and it was a hit.I make the corn salsa almost every week since my husband liked it so much

After trying a few disappointing zaar recipes I was happy to eat these burgers! The Salsa is what makes this recipe. Totally delicious, I would make the salsa just for its own sake. The burgers were not quite spicy enough for me but with the salsa it makes up for it.

Hrm this was good! I used ground turkey but I imagine chicken would be nearly the same. Kept everything else the same. Thanks!

This is one of the best recipes I've ever made from Recipezaar! The burgers were the perfect combination of spices and the salsa was excellent (even though I had to omit the pine nuts because they were too expensive!). Delicious!
