Texting Turkey

Chuck Zimmerman

Butterball TextWhat turkey week would be complete without a turkey post? Cindy and I watched the History Channel’s Modern Marvels – Turkey and since Butterball was mentioned so prominently I visited them this morning.

You can find some recipes for turkey for dinner here. If you’ve got questions you can call their Turkey Talk-Line – 1-800-Butterball.

Another option is to have turkey cooking information texted to you phone. I’m signed as you can see in the picture. So here’s what I’ll be getting:

Once you’ve signed up, you will receive text messages from November 3 to December 31, 2008.* Each message will include:

* Tips on how to prep and cook a turkey.
* Reminders on when to buy and start thawing your turkey.
* Shopping list alerts for new recipes.
* Features to instantly connect to the Butterball Experts
o Click to call 1-800-BUTTERBALL∗ directly from within the text message to speak with an expert.
o Or, click through to the mobile site to quickly get more information.
