Introduction

Thanksgiving is a time for family, friends, and of course, food.

And no Thanksgiving dinner is complete without a perfectly cooked turkey.

If you're looking for a delicious and easy way to cook your turkey this year, look no further than Butterball.

Why Butterball?

Butterball turkeys are known for their juicy meat and flavorful taste.

They're also easy to cook, thanks to the company's patented "Pop-Up" timer.

This timer pops up when the turkey is done cooking, so you don't have to worry about overcooking or undercooking your bird.

Cooking a Butterball turkey is easy

Here are the steps:

1. Thaw the turkey

The first step is to thaw the turkey. You can do this in the refrigerator for 24 hours per 4-5 pounds, or in cold water for 30 minutes per pound.

2. Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit

3. Prepare the turkey

Remove the turkey from the packaging and pat it dry with paper towels.

Season the turkey with salt and pepper, and place it in a roasting pan.

4. Cook the turkey

Cook the turkey for 13 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Use the "Pop-Up" timer to ensure that the turkey is cooked through.

5. Let the turkey rest

Once the turkey is cooked, let it rest for 30 minutes before carving.

This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more moist and flavorful turkey.
