In order to successfully carve a turkey, you will need to have
the following pieces of equipment:

One warm serving platter
A pair of kitchen scissors
An electric knife or a large slicing knife (you may want to
choose a manual knife since they provide more control than
electric ones)
A small carving knife or fork for arranging and serving the
meat

Now that you have the equipment you need to carve the turkey,
follow these steps in order to become a turkey carving expert:

1. Leave the turkey to sit 20-30 minutes after roasting and
before carving. This will make the meat moister and easier to
cut.

2. After the turkey has sat for the time indicated above,
transfer the turkey onto a cutting board; this is where you will
begin carving the turkey.

3. Remove the Leg: To do this, hold the drumstick firmly with
your fingers and gently pull the meat away from the body of the
turkey. While doing this, cut through the skin between the leg
and the body. Next, cut through the joint joining the leg to the
backbone. Then separate the drumstick and thigh by cutting
downwards through the joint, until the knife hits the cutting
board.

4. Slicing the Drumstick (Leg) Meat: Once you have detached the
leg from the rest of the body, you will want to slice the meat.
Hold the drumstick in an upright position and turn the drumstick
in a circular motion while cutting downwards. This will produce
tasty slices of meat which are approximately equal size.

5. Slicing the Thigh Meat: When slicing thigh meat, you want to
hold it close to the plate and secure it so it does not move. For
best results when cutting thigh meat, make sure your knife is
parallel to the bone and cut downwards towards the plate in slow,
steady motions.

6. Slicing the Breast Meat: Make a deep cut into the breast of
the turkey towards the body frame, as close to the wing as you
can for help visit www.150-venison-recipes.com. Starting at the front of the turkey (about halfway up the
breast) start cutting downwards, parallel to the cut you made to
the wing. Only cut enough meat as you think necessary for the
amount of people. Uncut meat will stay fresher longer.

7. Serve the Turkey: place all the slices of meat in an
attractive manner on a large platter and serve to your guests.
