a Butterball? Do I thaw it first? Also, do you have any tips or tricks for getting that nice even brown color on the turkey? TIA for any advice.

between a brined turkey and a Butterball. - Do not brine an injected turkey like a Butterball. - Rinse the crap out of a brined turkey before you roast it. I emptied the bucket I used to brine the turkey and refilled it with fresh...

I suppose that if you know to look for them, smoked whole turkeys are easy to find. I was in Harris-Teeter (Annandale) yesterday and there was a freezer bin full of them, two brands - Butterball and something else. Most were in...

. But neither I nor my guests thought the fresh turkey any better than the frozen ones we’d had in years past. Now, if you’re going to compare a Butterball to fresh organic free-range bird, that’s a whole other...

I come from a family of tried and true Butterball turkey eaters. Though my husband (of 3 weeks) suggested that we have a fresh turkey for my family on Thursday. This is unchartered territory for me, and I’m concerned that...
