Video: How To Carve A Turkey

Step One: Insert a meat thermometer right next to the leg to make sure it is fully cooked. The temperature should be at least 185 degrees.

Step Two: Let the turkey rest for 20 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to set and will ensure your turkey doesn't dry out.

Step Three: Remove the strings from the lets, and cut off the drumstick.

Step Four: Remove each breast by starting from the center, keeping the knife right against the bone, and carving along the cavity.

Step Five: Peel back the skin on the breasts, and slice the meat diagonally.

Step Six: Separate the leg from the thigh, peel back the skin on the thing, and slice the meat.
