Place corn on grill for 20 minutes rotating ¼ of a turn every 5 minutes. Remove corn from grill and let rest for 10 minutes.

Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator until you are ready to put sandwich together To make cilantro pesto spread place cilantro, garlic salt and pepper in food processor begin pulsing, while pulsing drizzle in olive oil. Once olive oil is fully incorporated stop food processor, scrape the sides then add 1 cup of sour cream and pulse together. Move to a bowl and place in refrigerator until you are ready to put sandwich together. To make burgers combine in a bowl 2 ½ lbs. Ground turkey breast, 6 chopped chipotle peppers, 3 tablespoons adobo, 1/3 cup fresh chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon Salt, 1 tablespoon fresh ground pepper, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 medium yellow onion grated, 1 tablespoon fresh chopped garlic and 2 eggs. Mix ingredients together and form six patties equal in size. Place small thumbprint in top and bottom of each burger to prevent burgers from swelling up. To cook burgers preheat gas grill to 450 degrees then brush grill rack with oil to prevent burgers from sticking and place burgers on grill, cook for 6 minutes and then turn burgers to other side and cook for 4 more minutes at 450 degrees.

While burgers are resting place Kaisers on grill face down for 60 seconds to toast. Take buns off grill. To build the burgers take both sides of the Kaiser and evenly spread about a ½ tablespoon of the cilantro pesto spread on each half of the Kaiser. Place a burger on the bottom half of each kaiser; place a heaping tablespoon of the sweet corn relish on top of each burger. Place the tops of the kaisers on the burger, slice the sandwiches in half and enjoy.
