Believe me, I know how stressful turkey burgers can be. Being poultry, it's extremely dangerous for these to be undercooked...but in a matter of seconds, this thing can become as dry as you great uncle's Thanksgiving jokes. The blend of dairy with bread crumbs in the burger will keep it juicy and the marinara sauce will ensure lots of flavor for you and your diners. This is especially great as sliders for get-togethers.

2 c marinara sauce
1 package (1 1/4-ounce) chili seasoning (such as McCormick)
3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, seeded and finely chopped
1 1/2 lbs ground white-meat turkey
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 c bread crumbs, packaged
2 T olive oil
8 hamburger-style rolls
Make the marinara sauce: Combine 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce, 3 tablespoons chili seasoning, and chipotles in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Simmer for 10 minutes and keep warm.
Make the burgers: Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the turkey, 2 ounces cream cheese, bread crumbs, and remaining chili seasoning and marinara sauce in a large bowl. Shape into 8 patties.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the burgers, 4 at a time, for 3 minutes on a side. Transfer to a baking pan. Place in the oven and cook for 8 more minutes. Serve each burger on a roll with 1 tablespoon cream cheese and marinara sauce.
