Thanksgiving with Butterball | MacSources

Cooking Thanksgiving dinner for the first time? You’re not alone.

This year has definitely been one for the history books. Everything that we define as ‘normal’ has been rewritten with a new definition — especially how we plan to celebrate the holiday season. Halloween was practiced but with social distancing in place. And now, as we creep up on Thanksgiving, there are many people who are having to navigate through making a traditional meal for their immediate families without the help of extended relatives — for the first time. I remember just a few years ago when I had to make our turkey for the first time. I, fortunately, had someone available to help me learn the ropes, but some people may not have that luxury. Don’t worry. Butterball is there to help.

I, like most people, turn to search engines when I don’t know the answer to something. And while you can certainly type, “how do I thaw a turkey?” Into Google, sometimes it’s easier to go directly to the source of knowledge on a particular subject in order to find your answer. A few years ago I wrote a couple of reviews on the Butterball apps — Butterball Cookbook Plus and the Butterball Cookbook Plus 4.0. Both apps sought to provide users with the same type of information that butterball.com does now.
