Directions:

  1. Preheat a grill to medium-high. Stir the yogurt and salsa together in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
  2. Combine the turkey, cornmeal, egg, salt, and chili powder in a large mixing bowl. Divide the mixture evenly into eight 1/4‑inch‑thick patties.
  3. Top four of the patties with a slice of the cheese, tearing the cheese in pieces to fit if necessary. Cover with the remaining four patties then press the edges tightly together to seal.
  4. Grill the patties for 5 to 6 minutes on each side. To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on each bun bottom. Top with a cooked patty, the salsa mixture, and sliced onion. Close each with the top of a bun.
