FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What’s the ‘magic’ behind Butterball’s Cook from Frozen Premium Whole Turkey?

Butterball Cook from Frozen turkeys are made with a specially-formulated brine. The unique level and distribution of the brine helps the turkey retain its moisture throughout the roasting process, producing the same juicy, tender and flavorful turkey you've come to rely on from Butterball.

I am struggling to remove the inner bag. Help!

Run the turkey in its inner packaging under cold water for one minute and massage the turkey as indicated on the package instructions. This will help loosen the bag from the turkey. Then, place the turkey into a 3” deep roasting pan. Use the grip and tear at the bottom of the bag to fully remove the turkey from the inner packaging. If needed, you can also use scissors to cut the packaging and slide the turkey out. Additionally, you could wear gloves for a better grip.

Oops! I accidentally thawed the Butterball Cook from Frozen Breast Roast. Is it still okay to cook?

Yes, you can roast this product if it's accidentally thawed, but it will roast faster. If safely thawed, roast in a Conventional Oven set to 325°F until the end temperature of 165°F is reached. Cook times will vary by oven. 

What is the best way to ensure my Butterball Cook from Frozen Turkey is fully cooked and safe to eat?
