How many was President Bartlett in on?

How many did Kwame make?

Wasn't there that one thread in TFD where someone called the Butterball line?

My sister is a nutritionist and volunteered for the turkey hotline one year. Good gracious, the stories she tells of utter stupidity.

/black trash bag != roasting bag
//yes, you have to thaw the turkey before you cook it
///No, taking a blowtorch to the outside won't help

Were the rest looking for big women?

I don't know why we insist on turkey. Wouldn't it b easier to roast four chickens.

Honey baked ham is your God.

Cooking normally causes 44% of fires, I'm surprised it only goes up to 69% today.

My friend's dad thought you could just fry a frozen turkey. His wife fortunately made him call the hotline before he tried it.

I called them to ask a question about butter and balls

I didn't get to talk with anyone and was reminded about the court ordered PFA still being in effect

Yes: I have never cooked a live turkey before and my neighbor's kids are scared. In US American children are no better than women!

Hello, butterball? What style of stuffing goes best with battletoads?

Yeah, but then you miss the best part of Thanksgiving...leftover turkey sammiches. I swear, they taste 10x better than the actual dinner. But you have to put stuffing and Ruffles in the sammich.

/we do honey baked ham for Xmas

Phone sex is phone sex.

Anybody know the % wastage to a turkey after cooking?

"Can we do this without killing my guests? I'm not saying that's a deal breaker..."

I almost had to call the hotline today to make sure I knew how many hours you had to cook a 20-pound possum to make sure it was cooked all the way through, but he wouldn't stay in the pot.

oh-please: Yeah, but then you miss the best part of Thanksgiving...leftover turkey sammiches. I swear, they taste 10x better than the actual dinner. But you have to put stuffing and Ruffles in the sammich.

I'm with ya on the leftover turkey sammiches but I often detect a slight change in the flavor of the turkey after it has been refrigerated (same with leftover mashed potatoes). I've always described it as a "refrigerator taste" (container air tight; nothing wrong with the operation of the fridge - temp OK; no odors inside, etc.). Although I'm not a chemist/biologist/scientist, I've always attributed it to some sort of enzyme activity. Any Farkers please feel free to comment to help me solve this mystery.

Stuffing, yes. I love me some turkey bone soup and turkey sammiches.

exposure to air - even the tiny amount in the air-tight container - reacts with the meat causing some changes. Minor though.

Avoid this by either removing air, or just filling the container with a lot of product. Don't use a big container when a small one will do.

No, turkeys cannot fly.

FTA: 4-5 -- The number of months it takes for a newborn turkey to reach maturity.

Turkey's are born now? Evolution, mutation, or genetic tinkering?

Subfail,

The number of calls the Butterball Turkey Talk-Line was braced for Thanksgiving morning 2011

And no where did the article say anything about the content, or was even related to the phone calls. Headline is bad and subby should feel bad for submitting it and the mod should feel bad for green lighting it.

Turkey is like pot roast or beef stew. Something magic happens overnight to make them taste even better the next day.

I suspect it's the fatty chains in lipids getting a chance to regroup, and thicken the gravy.

"Butterball Help Line."

"Uh ... what's your turkey wearing ...?"

Perhaps you weren't around for yesterday's thread about trying to prank call them with all sorts of inane questions. Fun was had by most, except for a couple of knickertwisted farks like you :)

Fark that, anyone who prank calls people working on thanksgiving are a bunch of thankless arseholes.

I called and asked them if it was ok to fark the turkey then cook it and serve it to my guests. They hung up on me. WTF is wrong with people. so rude.

I ran the self clean cycle on our oven this morning because it was a mess after a foil failure. The auto lock feature didn't auto unlock after and our Thanksgiving plan have been pretty much farked as a result.

Order pizza. That is the standing rule in our house. If dinner (regardless of the occasion) fails, then we are dining on Italian.

Absolutely, the ruffles give it just the right crunch. I'm with you on the turkey bone soup though.

This.

ChromoSomes: Anybody know the % wastage to a turkey after cooking?

If you do it right, just the bones
Turkey, turkey sammich, Turkey casserole, turkey soup. If you have anything but bones after 3 weeks, you're doing it wrong and wasting food.

The comments are better than the article. Looks kinda like a fark politics discussion.

Give it four years. All that will remain of election 2012 will be the lulz and a bitter moron that refuses to just go away, just like what's left of '08 at this point.

that bosnian sniper: I almost had to call the hotline today to make sure I knew how many hours you had to cook a 20-pound possum to make sure it was cooked all the way through, but he wouldn't stay in the pot.

You don't cook based off of time. You grab your meat thermometer and jab the probe into its still beating heart. Cook to an internal temp of 160F/72C.

I would swear this happens to pasta in tomato sauce too.
