An Imperfect Thanksgiving Is a Happy Thanksgiving


GARNER, NC--(Marketwired - November 01, 2017) - Very few things in life are Pinterest perfect. Butterball knows Thanksgiving's no different. But with all the things that could go wrong, we're here to help make sure the turkey always goes right. Your Thanksgiving may not be picture perfect, but cooking your turkey should be stress-free.

Butterball conducted a consumer survey for a pulse on Thanksgiving preppers' expectations and realities when it comes to one of the most important meals of the year, and found:

"While we know Thanksgiving can be full of little stresses, we also know it's important to not sweat the small stuff," said Sue Smith, co-director of the Butterball Turkey Talk-Line. "After all, Thanksgiving is a day to celebrate being together! That's why we at Butterball are proud of -- and take seriously -- our role in making hosts' Thanksgivings as seamless as possible, from providing best-in-class turkeys to being available via text to answer any questions cooks may have."

From first-time preparers freaked out by the giblets, to experienced cooks looking to try new recipes to accommodate an ever-changing tradition, no Thanksgiving question or concern is off the table for the experts on the other end of the Turkey Talk-Line.
