Has anyone tried the Butterball fully cooked smoked turkey? Is it good enough to serve to guests for Thanksgiving?

Yes, it was good and EASY. It really was a last minute thing, as we had plans out of town then an auto accident changed things. Well, I found one of those fully cooked smoked turkeys you just pop it into the oven to warm, and it was wonderful. We even had company due to people checking in on us. They all wondered how I could pull off such a full dinner on short notice. I made all the pies and homemade mashed potatoes etc. It was good, tasty, and I would buy it again.
Yes, it was good enough for company. I bought my first one this year at Aldi's and was a bit afraid of the results but this will be my choice from now on out. It was easy, moist and tastes good. Baked it at 350 for 1 1/2 hrs for a 12 /2 lb.perfect!
Just had one with company. It was the most discusting piece of mystery meat I had ever had. This was the smoked white turkey with breast meat. I was embarrassed that we had company and I had served this.
Ive had the whole smoked turkey for years and its always been awesome! I buy three when available so can have them other holidays.
Cant possibly have been the Butterball. Ours was just like slicing into normal turkey breast; typical grain and structure; tasted great; no carcass to pick.
We LOVE them. Just had one for Thanksgiving and getting ready to have another one.
We had a whole butterball smoked turkey for Thanksgiving this year. Everyone loved it. I must say, I did not like the stroke smoke smell during the cooking; however, I get overwhelmed by baking end of a turkey baking normally too.
Bought for Christmas dinner. I detest the taste of liquid smoke and this was all I could taste. Would not purchase again.
ditto: overwhelming fake smoke taste. was extremely tough. wasted a whole expensive bird no one finished what was on there plates. we have always used butterball turkeys with excellent results. first time using a fully cooked whole smoked one. ruined our easter family gathering. Very disapointing . if it says smoked, it should be smoked. 4/22/2019
I served 2 turkeys for Thanksgiving since discovering the Butterball Fully Cooked Smoked Turkey and every year my family devours the fully cooked smoked turkey and hardly touches the oven roasted one that takes me 3 hours or better to roast. I prefer the smoked one, it's really tasty! They are very hard to find in stores.
We had a fully cooked smoked turkey last year. It was super easy and only took 2-3 hours in over per the instruction included. I just did not like the smoke taste.
The fully cooked whole Butterball Smoked Turkey is the best turkey I have ever tasted. Aldi used to have them year round and I would buy 2 or 3 per year. Surprisingly, they taste better cold. If Aldi still has them, I never seem to catch them when they are in the store. I'm trying to find one online that I can get shipped to me.
Impressive taste for a product that is as easy to use as this one it. You are sure to impress with this without a lot of fuss.
My Butterball Smoked Turkey was very delicious! I wonder how long I could keep one in a freezer. I always have a July 4th party and would like to buy one now for then, since I don't know if they will be in stores to buy then.
It says 2 years on Butterball website. Can be frozen for two years.
For best quality 7 months, but up to a couple years.
I had one last year and it was great! I'm actually trying to find one now.
I just bought my first one! Having a lot of family over hope it is good. Sure is expensive if it isnt!
It's no more expensive than an uncooked turkey than an uncooked turkey
They are absolutely wonderful! I would serve to anyone any time. As a rule I don't care for left over turkey but can't stop eating this!
It was the worse thing we every did. After the cooking time and followed instructions it was raw. Kept in oven hours later still not done(dark meat).
Are you sure it was raw or not fully cooked? Smoked meat is characteristically pink from the smoking process. I once cooked hamburgers with a smoker and a few people who never BBQ refused to eat them because the the meat was pink due to smoking--they thought the meat was raw.
I have been cooking turkeys for 42 years and this was the worst piece of turkey I ever put in my mouth. I wouldn't have known it was turkey, but it came packaged like a typical turkey breast. We love smoked meats and my guess is this piece of meat never saw the inside of a smokehouse and was simply injected with chemicals. My advice...buy a fresh turkey and have it smoked don't even think of buying this.
I do not like Turkey but this was awesome. We had it for dinner today. I will be buying another one soon.
For years we've pitted our birds for Thanksgiving. Mostly 2, 20 lb. plus.
This year the same but our friends and relatives took most of the leftovers home. Still in the mood for Turkey so I bought one of the smoked pre-cooked butterball @ wallyworld a week later. Fantastic! Followed directions and it was so juicy and the aroma filled the house which made it even better. I would definitely recommend this for guests. I hope I can find it in the off season so that I can enjoy again when the mood.
Unfortunately I dont recommend it al all. Just tried a little piece of cooked smoked Turkey breast and am suffering with burning tongue from excessive chemical salt ( sodium phosphate) and a seaweed base jelatinizer) and dextrose ( artificial sugar).
