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.

    Very Best Blueberry Cobbler

    Author: BloggyFlay

    Very Best Blueberry Cobbler

    Ingredients

    • 2 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/2 lemon, juiced
    • 1 cup white sugar, or to taste
    • 1/2 teaspoon all-purpose flour
    • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
    • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
    • 4 teaspoons baking powder
    • 6 tablespoons white sugar
    • 5 tablespoons butter
    • 1 cup milk
    • 2 teaspoons sugar
    • 1 pinch ground cinnamon

    Directions
    Lightly grease an 8 inch square bakeware dish. Place the blueberries into the bakeware and mix with vanilla and lemon juice. Sprinkle with 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of flour, then stir in the tablespoon of melted butter. Set aside.

    In a medium bowl, stir together 1-3/4 cups of flour, baking powder, and 6 tablespoons sugar. Rub in the 5 tablespoons butter using your fingers, or cut in with a pastry blender until the mixture is in small pieces. Make a well in the center, and quickly stir in the milk.

    Mix until just moistened. You should have a very thick batter, or very wet dough. You may need to add a splash more milk. Cover, and let batter rest for 10 minutes.

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spoon the batter over the blueberries, leaving only a few small holes for the berries to peek through. Mix together the cinnamon and 2 teaspoons sugar; sprinkle over the top.

    Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the topping should come out clean (of course there will be blueberry syrup on the knife). Let cool until just warm before serving. Very Best Blueberry Cobbler can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 days.
