How am I going to carve my turkey?

Carve a TurkeyChicago Cutlery Insignia2 12pc Block Set

 

Step 1

Choose a sharp, thin-bladed carving knife. Running your knife along the bottom of the turkey, find the places where the thighbones meet the body.

  • Step 2

    Slip your knife into the joint to separate thigh from body on each side.

  • Step 3

    Separate the drumstick from the thigh using the same technique (cut through the joint, not the bone, wiggling the drumstick to locate the joint).

  • Step 4

    Running your knife along the bone, separate the meat from the thigh and drumstick trying to get as much as possible in one piece.

  • Step 5

    Cut thigh and leg meat into thin slices.

  • Step 6

    Use your knife to find where the wings and body connect.

  • Step 7

    Slip your knife into the joint to separate wings from body on each side.

  • Step 8

    Carve thin slices off one side of the breast, cutting parallel to the breast.

  • Step 9

    Repeat with the other side of the breast.

    Pumpkin Bread I Recipe

      

    Pumpkin bread with cream cheese filling:
     

    3 1/2 cups flour
    2 tablespoons baking soda
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    2 teaspoons cinnamon
    1 teaspoon nutmeg
    3 cup granulated sugar
    1 cup vegetable oil
    4 eggs
    2/3 cup water
    2 cups pumpkin

    Filling
    8 ounces cream cheese, softened
    1 egg
    1/2 cup granulated sugar
    1/2 cup chopped pecans

    Mix filling ingredients in order listed and set aside.

    Sift dry ingredients together. Mix pumpkin, water, oil and eggs together. Pour into dry mixture and mix well. Pour 1/2 of batter into 2 greased 9 x 5-inch loaf pans. Next pour a layer of filling in each pan (using all of the filling). Finish topping with remaining bread batter. Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean.

    Cool before removing from pans.

    I purchased my Baker’s Secret set and was ready to start baking and trying some new recipes. Love pumpkin bread!
