How to Carve a Turkey

Ingredients

• 1 (12-20 pounds) Cooked turkey
• 1 Carving knife
• 1 Carving fork
• 1 Cutting board
• 1 Serving platter

Instructions

1. Allow the turkey to rest for at least 30 minutes after cooking. This helps redistribute the juices, making for a moister cut.
2. Place the turkey on a cutting board, breast side up. Ensure the cutting board is stable to avoid slipping while carving.
3. Using the carving knife, begin by removing the legs. Cut through the skin connecting the leg to the body, then find the joint and cut through it.
4. Next, remove the thighs by cutting through the joint where the thigh meets the body. Set the legs and thighs aside on the serving platter.
5. To carve the turkey breast, start at the top of the breast and slice down toward the bone, making even, thin slices.
6. Continue slicing until you reach the bottom of the breast. Repeat on the other side of the turkey.
7. Arrange the sliced turkey on the serving platter along with the legs and thighs. Serve with sides of your choice.
