•    TURKEY BURGERS:
• 1 1/4 pounds lean ground turkey breast
• 2 Tablespoons ice water

• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg
• 4 Whole Wheat burger buns, lightly toasted
•    Dijon mustard

SWEET ONION MARMALADE:
In a medium saucepan, combine first six of the onion marmalade ingredients; stir, then stir in the chopped sweet onion; COVER and cook over medium heat 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until enough liquid has evaporated so onions are almost uncovered.

UNCOVER pan and cook 15 minutes.

THEN reduce heat to medium-low and cook another 10-20 minutes until most of the liquid evaporates to a glaze and mixture reduces to a marmalade consistancy. Remove and throw away the cloves. Serve warm, or cold.

TURKEY BURGERS:
In a bowl, combine turkey, water, 1 Tablespoon grated onion, thyme, salt, pepper & nutmeg. Mix and form 4 burgers.

Grill on indoor or outdoor barbeque (or broil or pan fry) about 5 minutes on each side. Lightly toast buns. Put burgers within buns, spread on some Dijon Mustard and top with sweet onion marmalade.

Bon appetit!
