Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

We may cook things regularly throughout the year but when it comes to Thanksgiving dinner, we want to take things to the next level. Not only do we want everything to be perfect, but we are also often making things that we don’t typically make and that includes the Thanksgiving turkey.

If you want more than just a humdrum Thanksgiving turkey on the table, you sometimes need to go to the experts. Thankfully, Jennie-O is setting up a Turkey Hotline for the holiday season.

This isn’t the first time that Jennie-O has offered the hotline. In fact, it is the 13th year that they are providing help for those who need it when it comes to cooking the big bird for the holiday. The number you call is 1-800-TURKEYS and you will speak one-on-one with a Turkey expert to see how to prepare the food perfectly. You can also choose the live chat option on the Jennie-O website, and there is a new option, you can text TURKEY to 73879 and get some text message advice.

The hotlines will be open on November 2 so you don’t have to wait till the day your turkey is baking to get good advice. They will guide you through the process of baking, brining, or frying the bird of your dreams. Starting on November 19, social media influencers and top-quality chefs will be online to offer some professional guidance as well. They aren’t sharing the list of people who are available, but it’s sure to be incredible.

Although you can get turkeys from many brands, Jennie-O is one of the best known. They want to provide more than a great product, they want to provide great advice so that everything is just right Nicole Behen, vice president of marketing at Jennie-O, it’s especially important in 2020 to have a great holiday meal.

“In a year when family bonds and giving thanks are more important than ever, we are thrilled to help make Thanksgiving meals entertaining, flavorful and easy. No matter where you are or who you’re with this season, Jennie-O is here to answer your questions and help make your Thanksgiving meal a success,” she said.

Jennie-O has another option that you will appreciate. It is a Turkey Tracker so you can see exactly where you’re frozen or fresh Jennie-O Turkey came from.
