Butterball's New Thanksgiving Turkeys Don't Need To Be Thawed

The holidays will be here before we know it, and for many households no Thanksgiving celebration would be complete without the star of the feast: a perfectly roasted turkey. Folks often buy a frozen bird in advance of the festivities, waiting until the big day approaches to thaw the turkey out. Yet, this can take quite a lot of time in the refrigerator. That can be on the order of days, depending on the size of your fowl, but this year, one company has decided to give us the gift of time with the purchase of a turkey.

Butterball is a company many are familiar with — especially around Thanksgiving when its logo is seen on many turkeys — and it has come out with a way to make roasting a turkey as easy as possible. Beginning in November, some stores around the U.S. will be offering Butterball's Cook from Frozen Turkey. Instead of fretting about whether or not you pulled the poultry soon enough to let it fully defrost, you simply unwrap this bird and set it in the oven. This could easily save a lot of headaches before the feast. And if that wasn't enough, Butterball's newest holiday edition has more advantages to make roasting the centerpiece of your Thanksgiving feast as stress-free as possible.

Typically, when you unwrap a gorgeous turkey for Thanksgiving, that's just the first of many steps you need to follow before getting it in the oven. You also have to season the bird and take out the neck and giblets from the inside — a task many folks don't relish. Butterball's latest turkey is already seasoned to perfection and there are no extra tidbits hiding in the body cavity that need to be removed.

Once a turkey is finally in the oven, your job isn't done. If you want the bird to come out juicy, you have to studiously go back every so often and give it a baste. Butterball's Cook from Frozen Turkey uses a specially formulated brine that eliminates this step and leaves you with a succulent turkey on the dinner table without having to babysit it all day. Brining a turkey is essential if you want it to come out just right, and Butterball has taken care of this important step for you.

This latest creation from Butterball is perfect for folks who are cooking their first Thanksgiving meal, but even the veterans out there will appreciate how easy this makes roasting the primary element of the feast. However, once the word gets out about these convenient birds, they might become scarce. If you are interested in saving time and eliminating stress on the big day, keep an eye out for these turkeys at Publix, Harris Teeter, Lowes Foods, and select Walmart locations, as well as stores under the Kroger banner starting in November.
