📝 Instructions:
1. Make the Chipotle Mayo:

- Chill:
- Set the chipotle mayo aside in the fridge while you prepare the burgers.
2. Prepare the Turkey Burgers:

- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
3. Cook the Turkey Burgers:
- Heat the skillet or grill:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat (or preheat your grill to medium-high).

4. Assemble the Burgers:
- Toast the buns:
- Lightly toast the burger buns on the skillet or grill for added texture.
- Assemble:
