Just Turkey Restaurant appears in inspection records six times, starting in 2011. Inspectors last stopped by on Jan 7, 2013. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer. Just Turkey Restaurant's record stops at Jan 7, 2013, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

The most common issue across all inspections has been “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code”, showing up five times.
Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
