Happy Memorial Day Weekend! My husband will be working tomorrow, so we had all the kids over today for a cookout. Turkey burgers are one of my favorites. And you can't have a Memorial Day picnic without fresh honeydew and cantaloupe melon and an assortment of berries. We also had vegetable pizza and the Applesauce cookies I made a couple of days ago.

TURKEY BURGERS

1 pound lean ground turkey (or ground turkey breast for extra lean)
1/2 medium red onion, chopped
2 egg whites
2 T chopped parsley
1 medium minced garlic clove
1/2 t ground tarragon
1/2 t salt
1/4 t pepper
Whole wheat buns

Mix turkey, onion,egg, parsley, garlic, tarragon, salt, and pepper. Form into 4 burgers (or 6 if you prefer smaller burgers). Place on medium grill and cook until done on one side, turn and cook on other side. Watch carefully, because they might not look done due to the light color. If you overcook they can dry out. Place burgers on whole wheat buns and top with your favorite condiments. Lettuce and tomato add a nice touch. Enjoy!

VEGETABLE PIZZA

1 tube reduced-fat refrigerated crescent rolls
Spread in small-size jelly roll pan, pinching seams together. Cook at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes or until a light golden color.

Meanwhile, mix together 6 oz neufchatel cheese with 1/2 cup deli prepared spinach dip. Spread over prepared crust after it has cooled.
Top with finely chopped tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots. May add other chopped vegetables as desired. Cover until top has enough vegetables to adhere to the cheese topping without falling off. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
