Summer is winding down, but one of the big grilling holidays is still to come: Labor Day! Do you have a cookout or other party planned for the holiday weekend? I definitely plan to put my (bare) feet up and enjoy some casual food and drinks with my family and friends. I am anything but fancy, so burgers, hot dogs, and this easy going Barefoot Refresh are just my style!

Kick back this weekend with a cool, crisp glass of Barefoot Refresh!

What’s Barefoot Refresh you ask? Well, it’s a tasty, light-bodied spritzer that is perfect for summer sipping. It’s a little sweet, a little fizzy , and lower in alcohol than regular wine. If you want something cool and refreshing to sip while you’re grilling summer burgers like the Parmesan Squash Burgers I’m about to show you, this Crisp White Spritzer by Barefoot Refresh is it!

These burgers are another way to keep enjoying what Summer has to offer since they are loaded with zucchini and yellow squash that are plentiful this time of year. I should have kept this recipe’s name more of a mystery because you kind of know what to expect, right? Turkey burgers with squash and parmesan. True, but you don’t know how good they are! Not only does the squash add fiber and vitamins, it makes the burgers so moist!

I really pulled a fast one with these veggie-loaded burgers. My husband couldn’t figure out why I said he was getting extra vegetables with his dinner. One guest ate half of his burger before he had a moment of panic and said, “There’s something yellow in here!” I told him it was just seasoning. He questioned me a bit, saying he had never seen a seasoning that was yellow before, but then he let it go and happily ate the rest of his squash burger. I felt like a super chef!

Please everyone at your next cookout with a cold glass of Barefoot Refresh and a secretly healthy burger. These spritzers come in five delicious blends: Crisp Red Spritzer, Crisp White Spritzer, Sweet White Spritzer, Summer Red Spritzer and Perfectly Pink Spritzer. They are great on their own over ice, or I bet they would make a mean pitcher of sangria too. Let me know how you will enjoy YOUR Barefoot Refresh as Summer winds down!

Hi,
Looks delish! I’m assuming the zucchini is grated raw of course – does it get fully cooked or is it crunchy – before I invest!

thanks

Hi, Leezee! Sorry I missed this until now. The zucchini wasn’t crunchy at all. It was really hard to even notice it was there! I told my husband I was sneaking him extra vegetables, and he couldn’t figure out what I meant :)

I can’t imagine how juicy these burgers are with the addition of squash – such a clever addition, Andi!

Thanks, Melanie! I was just trying to sneak in veggies and didn’t even think about the added juiciness. I’ll definitely make them this way again!

Thank you so much, Maris! I just thought of it when my husband wanted burgers and tatertots again, and I wanted to sneak some veggies in there ;)

I couldn’t believe this worked for my kids. They were so happy! No way would they eat squash on purpose ;) Thank you, Maria!
