If you don't know how to carve the turkey this Christmas, we have prepared some helpful steps for you.
If you are not an expert at carving turkey, it is not necessary to carve it at the table; you can carve it in the kitchen and bring the pieces to the center of the table for everyone to serve themselves as much as they want.
Let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes before you start carving; you can cover it with aluminum foil, which will help you serve a juicy turkey to all your guests.
If you are going to carve it at the table:
- Using a large two-pronged fork or a small one, hold the turkey in place so it doesn't move while cutting
- Start carving the breast from the outside in
- Cut a little at the base of the breast, pass the leg, and then cut thin slices down from above
If you are going to carve it in the kitchen:
- You must stabilize your turkey with a fork so it doesn't move
- The first thing you should do is cut the legs (you can use a knife to cut through the bones)
- If you want the breast to come off in large pieces, you can cut the base of the breast and then make a vertical cut as close to the bone as possible, and repeat on the other side
- Once you have the two large pieces of breast, you can slice them to your desired thickness
- We recommend leaving the turkey wings for last to help stabilize your turkey; using your boning knife, cut off the wings
- Separate the legs from the thighs with the help of your boning knife
- To remove the meat from the turkey leg, make cuts along the bone and gradually rotate your leg to remove all the meat
- To cut the thigh, you will also need to cut it along the bone
- Done! Arrange all the pieces on a platter and serve
We hope these tips on how to carve the turkey have been helpful.
