5 Dumbest Questions People Have Asked Butterball Turkey Hotline

Don't look now but we're 10 days away from Thanksgiving. And of course that means feasts the size of small towns will be had by families across the country.

For most folks, a good ole turkey makes the centerpiece to the day's meal. But do you really know what you're doing when you baste that bad boy up and stick in the oven or drop it in the deep fryer?

Good for you there's the Butterball Turkey Hotline!

It's 1-800-BUTTERBALL and for the past 34 years they've had this help line for turkey emergencies in November and December.

Along with the real questions, you can bet the employees of Butterball hear some pretty ridiculous ones. So some of the employees just shared some of the dumbest questions they've ever heard.

Here are the top 5:

1. "How do I roast my turkey so it gets golden brown tan lines in the shape of a bikini?" -- The recommendation was to strategically use foil.
2. "Why doesn't my turkey have any breast meat?" -- It turns out the turkey was upside-down.
3. "How much will my turkey expand when it cooks." -- The answer is not at all.
4. "I won my turkey at a casino, and it thawed on my lap while I rode the bus home.  Can I eat it?" -- They recommended not eating it after it thawed to room temperature.
5. "I carved my turkey with a chainsaw.  Is the chain grease going to adversely affect my turkey?" -- The answer is yes. Don't serve it or it might kill someone!
