• 4 burger buns, lightly toasted

Sweet Onion Marmalade:
In a medium saucepan, combine the onion marmalade ingredients; 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. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook another 10 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, 1Tablespoon grated onion, thyme, salt, pepper & nutmeg. Mix and form 4 burgers.

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

Bon appetit!
