Butterball Fresh Turkey 20/24

Make your holiday gatherings unforgettable with the Butterball Fresh Turkey 20/24, a generously sized whole turkey perfect for feeding large families and creating cherished memories around the dinner table. This fresh whole turkey weighs between 20-24 pounds, making it an ideal centerpiece for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any special occasion that calls for a traditional American feast. Butterball has been America's trusted turkey brand for decades, known for their expertise in raising turkeys and providing helpful cooking guidance to home chefs. This fresh turkey offers superior flavor and texture compared to frozen alternatives, as it never goes through the freezing process that can affect moisture retention. The substantial size makes it perfect for gatherings of 12-16 people, with plenty of delicious leftovers for sandwiches, soups, and casseroles in the days following your celebration. When preparing your Butterball turkey, plan for approximately 15-20 minutes of cooking time per pound at 325°F, though always use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F in the thickest part of the thigh. Consider brining your turkey overnight for extra juiciness, or try herb butter under the skin for added flavor. This versatile protein pairs beautifully with traditional sides like stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, and roasted vegetables. The rich, savory meat works wonderfully in post-holiday recipes such as turkey pot pie, turkey tetrazzini, or hearty turkey soup, making this substantial bird a valuable investment for multiple meals.
