The food company Butterball is providing on-call turkey advice for free on Thanksgiving. People can call in to the toll-free line and get free advice from Butterball on a variety of turkey-related issues.
Butterball “home economists” are answering calls in person, but the call volume by mid-day eastern standard time on Thanksgiving was so high that some calls were being routed to the automated, pre-recorded advice line.
Callers to Butterball can choose from several pre-recorded turkey options, including how to thaw, cook, stuff, and grill a turkey. There are also recordings for testing doneness, how much turkey to buy, and how to store turkey after it is cooked.
Each recording includes step-by-step instructions for the caller on the specific topic.
The hotline, which is dubbed the “Butterball turkey talk line,” can be reached by calling 1-800-BUTTERBALL (800-288-8372), weekdays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. CST (CST).
