  2. Shape the turkey mixture into 4 equal patties, making an indentation in the center of each patty.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add oil. Cook the patties for 5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes.
  4. Blend together the avocado, cilantro, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, and salt until smooth.
  5. Assemble the burgers by placing the cooked patties on toasted buns and topping with avocado crema and corn salsa.
