Getting you to buy something that has a higher margin than the one originally advertised? I have always bought fresh not frozen turkey. I don't know if there is a difference since I've never had a frozen one. Other than that, I think they're all pretty much the same.

Those are the "fresh" turkeys. The source says they would NEVER buy a fresh turkey unless you know where it came from and when it was killed. The brand of frozen turkey generally makes no difference either.

The Butterball Turkey Talk-Line has been active for nearly 30 years. I had a butter oil mixture that i whipped together with a hand mixer.

As seasoning I used some stuff I found simple called "Turkey Seasoning". Mom found it in some country store on one of their trips. I covered this bird with this butter mix, and put it on a bed of mixed vegetables and a little veg broth in a high wall turkey pan.

The pan was covered in tin foil. I think the temp was for five or so hours. Anyway, with an hour before it was suppose to be done I checked. It was almost over flowing with great smelling juice! There was so much it almost filled a four and a half QT pan. The turkey itself was fall apart done. When checked, the temp was well above done. We moved the turkey to a cutting board and covered it in tinfoil to rest for over an hour.

In that time I shorted the veg, and made a mash potato like dish out of it. Made a gravy too. After all this it was one of the best turkeys I have ever enjoyed. It was eaten over the next couple days, and even used the extra juice for a great soup. I felt great for doing this dinner. About a week latter I was at Walmart and saw they had these turkeys, but was shocked at the price. It was almost as much as a butterball. I thought it would be much cheaper. I wonder if the first one had something wrong with it?
