Butterball unveils 'cook from frozen' turkey
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- It's not Halloween yet, but as of Tuesday, Thanksgiving is a little over a month away for those who want to avoid the pumpkins and candy.
If you dread the Thanksgiving feast preps, Butterball has at least one step in the process you can cut.
Butterball has a new "cook from frozen" turkey you don't have to thaw. Cooking the turkey is now two steps: unwrapping and popping it in the oven.
It also doesn't need basting, brining, or even seasoning. That's because it's made from a specially formulated brine that keeps the meat moist during cooking.
However, you can not stuff this turkey. Butterball says it would pose a safety risk.
