But if you need a pro who won’t judge you, you can join the millions of people who call the Butterball Turkey Talk-Line. The turkey company’s hotline started in 1981 as a holiday service to ease the stress of Thanksgiving.

Frozen turkeys are already on the shelves in Connecticut supermarkets. Fresh birds are good for 10 days before Thanksgiving.

In a Butterball Togetherness Report, respondents said they expected to have an average of nine people over for Thanksgiving this year.
