How am I going to carve my turkey?

 

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.

    How to Stop Brutalizing Your Food

    Author: BloggyFlay

    Not many people know that when you cut food you affect its flavor.  Depending on how you cut or tear your food you’ll notice a very subtle change in the flavor of your dish.  This is why some chefs choose to tear certain foods with their bare hands.  Things like vegetables, when torn instead of cut, will release more flavor into the dish if cooked for the appropriate amount of time.

     

    On the other hand, there are times when we don’t want the food we’re processing to seep its flavor or character into anything else.  This is true of most meats.  So, the end result of your culinary creations depends largely on the quality (or lack thereof) of your kitchen cutlery sets.  Anyone who’s ever made so much as a sandwich can tell you how critical it is to have top-quality and dependable cutlery at your disposal.

     

    Since dull blades require a greater force to achieve a cut dull knives present a much greater cut hazard in the kitchen.  This is why it’s important to check the strength of the blade of your knives.  It’s good to know precisely what the steel can tolerate before it loses its edge.  Personally, I think having a dull knife is worse than not have a knife at all!
