How to Carve a Turkey
If you've never carved a turkey before or you just need a quick refresher, check out this video from Food Network:
Turkey Carving Tips
1. Let the Turkey Rest. Once the turkey is done cooking, you want to let it sit for at least 15 minutes before you start carving it. This allows time for the juices to redistribute and make the entire turkey more tender. You'll also be less likely to burn yourself by letting it cool a little before cutting it apart.
2. Place the Turkey on a Carving Board. One of the first mistakes that many people make is trying to carve the turkey in the pan that it was cooked in. To keep the turkey from sliding around and to keep the pan from getting in your way, take the turkey out and place it on a kitchen towel on a cutting board.
3. Use a Knife and Some Tongs. Turkeys can be difficult to carve, so grab a trusty pair of tongs to use in conjunction with a large, sharp knife. The tongs will help you keep the turkey in place as you are cutting with the knife. You can also use a carving fork instead of tongs if you prefer. As for the knife, sharp 10-inch slicing knife would be a good choice, as a serrated blade will tear the meat.
4. Cut Across the Grain. For maximum tenderness, you want to cut the turkey across the grain. You also want to follow the shape of the muscle to avoid wasting any meat.
