Turkey with Fig, Orange and Mint Marmalade

Depending on where you come from turkey is usually mainly eaten at Thanksgiving or Christmas. But as it is a low-fat meat, it is a very good idea to use far more often during the year. This very different sauce will really pepper up a bland meat. If you make and enjoy this, please take a photo and post together with the recipe - Thank you
