Holiday Turkey Dinner Information
BUTTERBALL FULLY COOKED TURKEY
Butterball Oven-Baked Turkey is fully cooked and ready to eat.
It can be used in recipes calling for cooked Turkey, without prior heating.
The thigh meat may be slightly pinkish in color and some pink juices may appear. This does not mean that your turkey is undercooked.
IF TURKEY IS FROZEN DO NOT THAW AT ROOM TEMPERATURE. Thaw breast up, in an unopened wrapper, on a tray, in the refrigerator for 2 to 5 days.
