Turkey Red

As a foodie from Dallas, Texas who travels nationwide always in search of the best hidden gems, Turkey Red in Palmer is a clear winner! We stopped in for lunch and every single dish was outstanding. I started with the grilled polenta appetizer - absolutely amazing. For my main, I had the eggplant stew paired with steak. The portion was generous, the flavors were superb, and the steak was melt-in-your-mouth tender. I noticed another review mentioned the eggplant being sour, but as a true foodie I can say with confidence that’s simply the balsamic vinegar doing its job - perfectly balanced and intentional.

Hard to find good, healthy options in Palmer and Wasilla. So grateful for Turkey Red since it opened years ago. One of my favorite restaurants! The fig chicken is chefs kiss😘

They had two hot items for vegetarians. A mushroom sandwich and a lentil burger. The burger was weird. The patty was disintegrates. Just crumbles on a soft thick bread. Almost over cooked.

They were out of the nettles drink that I wanted to try.

Very nice restaurant. My waitress was super friendly and informative about the specials. I got the orange sesame salad with the cream and veggie rice soup and a lemon tart for dessert. Served with complementary bread. All very delicious! Although, my tart came with some blueberries, I didn't care for them. Everything came out to $23! Overall a calm and relaxing place to get a good bite to eat.

Our first visit to this local gem was a delightful surprise. Walking into the restaurant we could smell delicious things baking and cooking, and there was interesting photography and art on the walls. It was lunch time and a little busy but there was seating available. We were shown to a spot in a raised seating area that had a large front window. Overall it felt cozy and inviting. The menu had a lot of tempting options, and I ended up ordering the hot turkey sandwich. I'm someone who prefers oven roasted turkey rather than the deli slices but I forgot to ask our server about it, so when we got our food I was pleased that the sandwich featured generous slices which struck a perfect balance between both. It was layered with bacon and tasty pickled avocado on pillowy, herb-infused focaccia
