Planning a cookout for Memorial Day? Try bison burgers—a healthier alternative to beef. One burger has less fat than a skinless chicken breast.

For our Top Pick Of The Week, we tried bison burgers from Allen Brothers and High Plains Bison, two purveyors of premium meat. Don’t look for bargain-basement bison meat. As with beef, you get what you pay for.
Read the full review, including bison nutrition and cooking instructions.
