The Butterball Turkey Talk-Line Is Geared Up!

With Thanksgiving nearly here, are you wondering exactly how much turkey you need to feed 11 people, four of whom are teenagers? Are you worried about timing and internal temperatures?  Are you thinking of brining your bird this year?  Would you like recipe ideas for holiday dishes that incorporate many of the basic pantry items you already have on hand? Are you hunting around for ideas on how to avoid waste and use all those leftovers?

If the answer is yes to any of the above, you might consider calling The Butterball Turkey Talk Line at 1-800-BUTTERBALL (1-800-288-8372). This all-American seasonal call center has been serving harried holiday cooks for 29 years now. In addition to “live” help from home economists, Butterball has expanded its website and now offers many online features, such as serving calculators, new recipes, bilingual features, and email queries. All of the recipes on the site have been developed and tested in the Butterball kitchen by specialists.  There’s also a special section called “New Cook Know-How.”

For more information, see the website or call the All-Star Turkey Talkers directly!  The phone lines are open on Thanksgiving, but call ahead, if possible, because the phones are ringing already!
