Instructions
Chipotle Salsa:
- Light the grill.
- Skewer the garlic on a bamboo skewer.

- Transfer to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
- Add the chipotles, adobo sauce, cilantro and sugar; pulse until combined. Season with salt.
Burgers:
- Lightly knead the ground turkey in a large bowl with the cilantro, scallion, garlic, ancho powder, salt, pepper, cumin, coriander and cinnamon. Shape the meat into four patties about ¾-inch thick.
