When many of us have a short reprieve from the onslaught of holiday calls, Butterball's Turkey Line is ready and waiting. I would bet that most of the calls are from men that are taking on their first Thanksgiving as a husband; but that is just my instinct. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!! Be safe and try not to over cook the turkey... Thanks to Bob Last for this timely Blog post!
