Memorial Day: Summer Kick-Off Menu

Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer and we have planned a menu to celebrate the start of the sunny season. Included is an easy barbecue friendly meal we think will help you say goodbye to spring and kick off the start of summer. This menu will have your large or small group of young and old guests coming back for seconds.

Main Course – Turkey Burgers with Sundried Tomato, Basil, and Parsley


The only way to really kick off summer is to celebrate and take advantage of official grilling weather. There are so many ways to do this including barbecuing hot dogs, kebobs, burgers, and veggies, but we believe we have found one of the best recipes. And you guessed it, it’s a burger. A turkey burger packed full of basil, parsley and garlic and covered in a homemade smoky peppery mayonnaise and finally, topped with fresh mozzarella cheese and spinach leaves. Get the recipe here.

Since Memorial Day is about celebrating our nation’s greatest sacrifices, it’s only appropriate to make a patriotic dessert to go along with it. This guilt-free dessert can be made with the yogurt of your choice in order to go along with the nutty granola crust. Plus, it’s gluten free! Get the recipe here.
