Title: How to Carve a Turkey
Post by: RAD on November 11, 2014, 07:21:18 AM: I did a search but could not find the video anywhere on the forum. I've seen it before and I think it is one of the best examples on how to carve a turkey and makes it look real easy.

Okay, truth be known I do keep a smallish pile of random skin pieces off to the side of the serving tray. But I do try to leave as much skin with the meat as I can.

But I pretty much carve my bird the way he demonstrates.

Post by: RAD on November 26, 2015, 09:08:02 AM: I have to agree about the skin. I just saw him on Fox and he pulled back the skin just enough to get the knife in and left the rest on.
