Southwestern Turkey Burgers with Red Onion Marmalade

Sometimes, Jake tells me he feels like he’s going to sprout feathers.

It concerns me.

Now, I’m no psychologist, but according to my in depth and certainly reliable internet research, I think he may have some sort of identity issue. Borderline personality disorder?  Quite possibly.

Either that, or it has something to do with the amount of poultry I feed him.

I can’t be sure. 

Anyway, since I’m a loving and caring fiance, I try to be sensitive to this feeling of his, and every once in a while I try to throw in some meals that don’t contain poultry.  Because if it does  happen to be the latter, and he does  happen to think that, perhaps, we eat a lot of chicken and turkey, I wouldn’t want to exasperate the situation any further.

And if it’s not?  Well… does anyone know a good shrink?

So in my quest to avoid coming home to Jake covered in feathers, I look for non-chicken-and-turkey-meals-that-still-contain-meat-but-don’t-totally-gross-me-out. (What can I say? We’re difficult.)

And then I see recipes like this one, from Rhubarb and Honey.  And I know that if I just make it, and Jake just tastes it, he will love it.  And all visions of feathers popping out of his skin will disappear, despite the fact that it contains turkey.

And you know what? I think I’m right.  Because after Jake tasted these delicious Southwestern Turkey Burgers with Red Onion Marmalade, I didn’t hear one mention of feathers.
