Cutting Up a Turkey

[Rummm]

If and when you ever see a sale on whole turkeys, buy some! Don't just serve a big bird on Thanks Giving or Christmas, follow the instructions below and you can have turkey all year around. The best way to freeze turkey is to use a vacuum packing system, such as the Food Saver. It prevents freezer burn, dehydration, deterioration and odors. I found a turkey thigh hiding in my freezer for three years...after thawing out, it was in just as good shape as the day I put it in there

Got a turkey cooking right now that's all cut up.  Plus I split the breast and deboned and skinned one half.  The boneless skinless breast and the legs and thighs I cured.  The boneless breast was then seasoned for turkey pastrami.  The legs and thighs will be like the legs you get at fairs and festivals.  The other breast still has bone and skin.  That along with the wings will be standard smoked turkey.  Multiple styles from one bird all during one cook.
