The Joke Is On You… You Can Safely Microwave That Thanksgiving Turkey

In case your kids call asking how long the turkey needs to spend in the microwave in order to have it ready for Thanksgiving dinner, don't fret. It's just a prank.

In case you think Butterball is trolling the internet, they confirmed to Fox News that it's completely safe to microwave a turkey as long as it's small.
