How to Carve a Turkey
At the end of the steps, there is a link to a video, which really helps.
Step 1: Besides the freshly roasted turkey, you will need:
- 1 sharp knife
- 2 cutting boards
- 1 fork
——————————————————————————–
Step 2: Remove the wishbone.
- Remove a little skin from the base of the turkey’s breast.
- Cut around the V-shaped wishbone and pull it out carefully so as not to damage the meat.
——————————————————————————–
Step 3: Carve the legs
- Cut along the turkey’s hip joint with your knife, letting the leg slowly separate from the body and remove the leg completely from the joint.
- Cut the leg at its knee joint and set both pieces aside.
- Repeat for the other leg.
——————————————————————————–
Step 4: Carve the breasts
- Cut into the bird along the side of its breastbone.
- Angle the knife and cut the meat away from the carcass, cutting through the wing joint. The breast should come easily away from the body.
- Repeat for the other side.
——————————————————————————–
Step 5: Slice the breasts
- Cut off the wing tips from the breasts and slice the remaining meat against its grain.
- Don’t throw away any of the bones! If your roasted bird is an all natural one, you can use its carcass to make a tasty turkey soup.
- Serve.
These tips were devised from VIDEOJUG where you can watch a very helpful video of how to do this, which makes it much easier than reading: The Video .
