Butterball's Frozen Turkey Simplifies Thanksgiving Prep

As Thanksgiving approaches, proper turkey thawing and cooking are crucial for safety and taste. The USDA recommends three main thawing methods: refrigerator, cold water, and microwave, with varying thaw times based on turkey size. Butterball offers a new Cook From Frozen Premium Whole Turkey to simplify the process. It's important to maintain temperatures below 40°F to prevent bacterial growth, and the turkey should be cooked immediately after thawing to avoid the 'danger zone.' Additionally, safety precautions should be observed when frying turkeys, as improperly handling fryers can lead to burns or fires. Cold weather is expected in regions like Minnesota, which may affect outdoor cooking plans.
