Preparation & Cooking Instructions

Butterball recommends product be cooked from a thawed state. To thaw, refrigerate in original packaging for 48 hours. In a shallow pan, place the roast in its original packaging. Cooking instructions: For a convection oven, preheat to 325 degrees F. Cook the roast for approximately 2.5 - 3.5 hours or 16-20 minutes per pound. For a conventional oven, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and cook the roast for approximately 3.5 - 4.0 hours or 20-24 minutes per pound. Use a meat thermometer and insert into the thickest part of the product to verify doneness. The roast should reach a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Remove the roast from the oven and let the roast stand for 30 minutes before slicing or carving.
