NEW YORK (AP) -- This year if you call Butterball's Turkey Talk Line for some turkey advice, you might get a male voice on the line.

For the first time, Butterball enlisting the help of men as well as women for its Turkey Talk cooking-advice line during the holidays. And the turkey seller is seeking the first male talk-line spokesman this year as well.

The talk line, which is 32 years old this year, has long offered advice to anyone overwhelmed by making the perfect turkey for Turkey Day and the rest of the year-end holiday season.

It has been improving its services, last year launching a smartphone app, Facebook live chats, Pinterest posts and other social media tools.

***i'm hoping to do a heritage turkey this year. they don't have a talk line for that.
i may have to call one of you intrepid smw, wee foodies.
i fully expect the advice to be have another shot of bourbon and baste with more butter.
