What you’ll need:
- sharp knife
- cooked turkey
- serving plate
- chopping board
How to carve a turkey:
Step 1: Let it rest.
Let your turkey rest for about 30 minutes. This will help prevent the juices from coming out when you start carving, and it will make the clean-up process much easier.
Step 2: Slice the dark meat.
Start with the dark meat first. You should be able to notice a natural line going through the leg of the turkey. This is where the joints meet, slide your knife through it.
Step 3: Pull on the legs.
Give the leg a little pull. You’ll be able to see the connection in the joints making it easier to cut the thigh with your knife. Repeat this process on the other leg too.
