Convenience at Its Finest
Thanksgiving is a season of gratitude, family gatherings, and, of course, delicious food. However, one common stressor is the turkey preparation. Fortunately, Butterball has introduced a new solution that promises to make this year easier than ever. Their new cook from frozen turkeys can go directly from the freezer to the oven, eliminating the need for thawing, brining, or extensive seasoning.
Simple Cooking Instructions
Preparing these innovative turkeys is surprisingly straightforward. Begin by removing the outer bag and rinsing the wrapped turkey under cold water to separate the plastic. There won’t be any stray giblets to worry about, simplifying the cooking process even further. Place the turkey in a roasting pan with a rack insert, brush it with oil, and bake it at 325 to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 4 to 5 hours. The turkey is done when a thermometer inserted in the breast and thigh reads 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
Seasoned to Perfection
One of the standout features of Butterball’s cook from frozen turkeys is that they come pre-seasoned. A brine containing salt and several natural flavors ensures that your turkey remains moist and flavorful throughout roasting. While these turkeys do not require basting, you can still enhance their flavor with additional spices and herbs, such as garlic, onion powder, or fresh rosemary. It’s important to remember that stuffing should be baked separately for food safety, allowing you to focus on elevating your Thanksgiving meal.
