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

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. It was like Bologna. I will never touch it again. The rest went in the garbage, I spent to much to have this happen, fortunately y daughter had brought a ham.
Ive had the whole smoked turkey for years and its always been awesome! I buy three when available so can have them other holidays.
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.
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.
Just bought one at Aldi on Nov 3rd... looks goodl
I just bought my first one! Having a lot of family over hope it is good. Sure is expensive if it isnt!
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
Is it really smoked, or is it Liquid Smoke?
They are absolutely wonderful! I would serve to anyone any time.
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.
How do you heat it up or do you serve it cold? Smoked turkey sounds delicious.
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.
So good! Looking for another one now.
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 could not convince them that the meat was thoroughly cooked--even after placing the patties directly over the fire and there was absolutely no moisture left with an internal temperature of 195 degrees.
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.
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.
