Garner, N.C., – According to the NPD Group1, U.S. families are more likely to be eating meals at home and in turn, recipe usage has increased with 42 percent of households claiming to use recipes once a week or more. That’s why this fall, Butterball is providing two new mealtime solutions that appeal to busy families – Butterball Recipe Starters Turkey Dinner Sausage and Butterball Artisan Seasoned Turkey Breast deli meats.
Expanding on Butterball’s existing turkey dinner sausage line, Butterball will offer two new link sausage flavors – Wisconsin Cheddar and Hot and Spicy Red Pepper – that provide better-for-you ways to spice up and add flavor to popular dinner dishes such as casseroles and pastas. Adding to Butterball’s existing line of deli meats, new Artisan Seasoned Turkey Breast is available in three trending flavors: Maple Honey, Smoky Chipotle and Herb Roasted. The new mouthwatering deli products start with delicious Butterball turkey breast that are cooked and seasoned with robust spices that will bring zesty flavor to everyday sandwiches, wraps, snacks and more.
“Knowing consumers are looking for better-for-you meal solutions, Butterball continues to innovate and improve its turkey offerings to provide more family-friendly and flavorful options,” says Kyle Lock, director of retail marketing for Butterball. “These new offerings are convenient and help provide more options for lunch and dinner and everything in between.”
Butterball Recipe Starters Turkey Dinner Sausage items are naturally hardwood smoked and contain 60 percent less fat than regular pork or beef smoked sausage2. Both Hot and Spicy Red Pepper and Wisconsin Cheddar are available now at select Wal-Mart stores in 12-ounce packages. The dinner sausages will soon be available at additional grocery retailers. All three flavors of Butterball Artisan Seasoned Turkey Breast deli meats will be available in stores in October.
