How to Cook a Frozen Butterball Turkey
Step 1: Unpack and Prep
- Remove the turkey from the outer packaging.
- Run the turkey in its inner packaging under cold water for one minute, massaging the turkey as needed.
- Place the turkey in a 3-inch deep roasting pan.
- Use the grip and tear at the bottom of the bag to remove the turkey from the inner packaging.
Step 2: Season (Optional)
While the turkey is pre-seasoned, you can add your own personal touch with herbs, spices, or a simple salt and pepper rub.
Step 3: Roast
Preheat your oven to 325°F. Place the turkey breast-side up in the roasting pan and roast according to the instructions on the packaging. The cooking time will vary depending on the weight of the turkey.
Step 4: Check for Doneness
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the turkey. The turkey is done when the thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reaches 170°F.
Step 5: Rest and Carve
Let the turkey rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful turkey.
