Our take on the Butterball Whole Frozen Turkey

A frozen, bone-in whole turkey that comes pre-brined, so it goes from the bag to the roasting pan with little prep. This 20–24 lb bird is a large one, suited to a big holiday gathering with leftovers in mind. Butterball is the best-known name in supermarket turkeys, and the pre-brining and easy-open bag are its main edges over plain frozen store-brand birds. Expect about 3¾ to 4½ hours at 325°F, and plan several days of fridge thawing before that.
