Week Seven: Turkey burgers with onion marmalade

 Serves 4  - £1.70 per person
Ingredients:
500g turkey mince
1 egg
60g fresh breadcrumbs
A handful of fresh herbs- thyme, sage, bay...
Oil for frying

400g onions. finely sliced
2 dsps brown sugar
3 tsps red wine vinegar
Oil for frying

Method
First, mix together the breadcrumbs and herbs, then add the turkey mince and combine thoroughly with either your (clean) hands or a fork. Put this mixture into the fridge.

Now, start to make the onion marmalade by heating the oil and then adding the onions. Turn the heat down and leave to cook for about 15 minutes with a lid on, adding the sugar after 10.
Next, add the vinegar and cook without a lid on a higher heat for another 10 or so minutes, then remove from the heat and put to one side.

Return to the burger mixture. Shape this into 8 thinnish patty shapes. Heat the oil in a frying pan and place the burgers in - leave enough space to be able to turn them over easily. Leave for about 3 minutes then turn them over and continue to cook for another couple of minutes. Depending on the size of your pan, you may want to keep the cooked burgers hot in a dish in the oven while you cook the rest.

Warm the onion marmalade through then serve with the burgers, some bread rolls and salad.
Enjoy!
