Butterball's new Cook from Frozen Premium Whole Turkey goes from the freezer to the oven — no thawing or brining necessary. I tried it and here's what happened.

Butterball’s new cook-from-frozen turkey skips thawing and goes straight from the freezer to your Thanksgiving table. But how does it compare to the original? We tried them side by side to find out.

Butterball "cook from frozen" turkeys are available at Harris Teeter, Lowes Foods and Publix stores. The new offering can also be purchased at select Kroger and Kroger banner locations (such as Fred Meyer, Fry's and Ralph's) as well as select Walmart locations.
