In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, black beans, corn, jalapeños, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.

Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Form the mixture into patties, about 1 inch thick.

Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.

During the last minute of cooking, place cheese on top of each patty to melt.

Toast burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on each bun.

Top with avocado slices and salsa as desired.

Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
