In 1951, Leo Peters, an employee of the Chicago meat processor Swift and Co., purchased the trademark for "Butterball" from an Ohio woman who had owned it since 1940. According to Peters' son, Peters was unsure what he would actually use it for, but by 1954 Peters' trimmed, dressed, and fast-froze turkeys were patented under the name Butterball Turkey.

According to Butterball's website, "Butterball received its name from the broad breast and plump, round shape of the turkey."

Peters licensed the Butterball name to Swift for ten years before selling it to them in the 1960s, which was acquired by ConAgra in 1990.
