While many may believe that the Butterball Turkey Hotline is an urban legend, it’s actually true. It’s reallly called the Butterball Turkey Talk-Line and it was ready to go as usual beginning at 6 a.m. local time this morning. If you need to talk with them and get help for cooking that bird today, you’ll have until 6 p.m. tonight (the ladies need to enjoy dinner with their families too afterall).

A quick visit to Butterball’s official website will allow you to learn more about the women who staff this 25-year service to the company’s customers. They also have additional tips and videos available for you to look at. There are some other hotlines for holiday food preparation assistance today, including this list available from PepperFool.com. So help is available if it’s really needed.
