No Name Saloon has always been one of my favorite places to grab a bite with friends. Their buffalo burgers are awesome, but ever since I tried the turkey burger, it has been so hard to go back! I find myself craving them all the time. They are healthy but still incredibly juicy and flavorful, and I would love to know how to make them at home. ~Brett Cunningham, Park City, Utah
