Recipe Instructions

1. Combine cheese, mayonnaise, lime juice, chipotle in adobo, salt and lime peel in bowl; stir in turkey.

2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add onions, green pepper and celery. Cook 5 minutes; stir into turkey mixture.

3. Spread bread crumbs on a large plate. Spoon mixture by 1/2-cup measures into crumbs to coat. Pat into a 2 1/2x1-inch-thick fritter; repeat with remaining mixture. Refrigerate patties 1 hour.

4. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in large skillet over medium heat. Cook 4 fritters, 3 minutes per side, until golden. Transfer to platter; cover and keep warm. Repeat with remaining 2 teaspoons oil and fritters.

NOTES : Got at least three cups of cooked turkey left over from Thanksgiving? That's all you need to whip up this hearty meal. These skillet patties get their spicy kick from smoked chile pepper. Serve them with a dab of cranberry relish to counter the heat.
