Prepare ingredients the night before or the morning of for enhanced flavor.

Mix ground turkey, 1/2 cup salsa, shallots, cilantro, 3 tablespoons oil, hot sauce, cumin, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.

Shape the turkey mixture into four 3 1/2- to 4-inch-diameter patties.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Add burgers and cook until brown, about 3 minutes per side.

Reduce heat to low.

Sauté until burgers are cooked through, about 4 minutes, turning occasionally.

Grill burgers using non-stick grilling spray if preferred.

Serve burgers on lettuce leaves instead of buns.

Optionally, arrange lettuce on plates.

Place burgers on the lettuce.

Top each burger with 2 tablespoons of the remaining salsa.
