There are plenty of amazing BBQ restaurants throughout the country. Whether they’re good or not, they all claim to be the best at something. Maybe it’s their pulled pork sandwich, a full slab of ribs, or even the sides. But at a certain point, BBQ starts to blend together. If it’s good, one place just starts to taste like the next. That’s why the approach at Just Turkey Restaurant in Chicago, Illinois, so refreshing. They focus their entire menu on getting just one meat, turkey, just right.

The original location was opened in 2007 by two brothers native to Chicago. In addition to the walk-in restaurant, they offer catering options for groups as large as 25 people.

The restaurant makes all sorts of traditional BBQ recipes but avoids the use of pork and beef. The only meat that touches the grill is turkey, allowing a healthier dining option for those seeking the delicious taste of BBQ.
