911 Turkey

Every year, many people face the dilemma of not having a clue how to cook a turkey! How long do I thaw it? How do I stuff it? How do I carve it? Well, ponder no more! There are several websites you can visit for help. The biggest and most known site is  Butterball Help , where you can have many of your questions answered. The site includes cooking tips,how to choose a turkey,  special recipes and even a calculator to figure out how many pounds you need for how many people (and if you want plenty of leftovers!). And finally, it has its most famous and used number this time of year 1-800-Butterball, for all your turkey dilemmas. There is also an email link if you prefer to ask that way.

Other websites that can help you cook that bird include Honeysuckle, Foster Farms, Reynolds, and the USDA.

So don’t fret, help is just a click or a call away! Happy cooking and especially happy eating.
