About this listen

In this podcast episode, I chat with Bill Nolan, a supervisor at the Butterball Turkey Talk-Line. This iconic Thanksgiving cooking tradition opens for business today—for the 44th year in a row. Bill and the other turkey experts are standing by and ready to answer whatever problems or questions home chefs may have during this busy turkey-cooking season.

Bill and I discuss the Talk-Line's history, Bill's background and role, and how a food expert might snag one of these coveted positions. He talks about the Butterball kitchens in Naperville, IL, how the Talk-Line employees train, and a couple of his most memorable phone calls. And, a new thing I must try, how to cook "from a frozen turkey!"

The Turkey Talk-Line is open during November and December to answer your turkey questions. Call 1-800-BUTTERBALL or text 844-877-3456 to chat with the turkey experts. Visit the Butterball website for turkey cooking information, how-to videos, or to submit a turkey question.

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!
