PHOENIX — Thanksgiving dinner is supposed to be about time with your family and eating a tasty meal.

You don't have to freak out that because there are hotlines you can call when you are in stuck in a turkey disaster!

You can call 800-288-8372 or I-800-BUTTERBALL, text them at 844-877-3456, email them at butterball.com, or ask your Amazon Alexa all for advice. The idea is that you can ask someone for tips, prevention or help after the fact of a turkey cooking incident without the freak out.
