BBQ Turkey Burgers with Melon Salsa

Hello all welcome to Labor Day weekend! I thought I would give you a different option today. Tomorrow I will be making BBQ Turkey Burgers with a homemade BBQ sauce. The sauce is easy to make and I bet you have all the ingredients in the pantry. I’m going to pair this with a Summer Melon Salsa. Both of these recipes will take no time at all, you can make the BBQ sauce a day ahead of time, and the Melon Salsa the morning of the cook out. Have a great weekend everyone.
Thank You
