Title: Turkey and Chicken carving
Post by: deestafford on November 29, 2013, 06:56:24 PM: The other day someone posted a video of a butcher in NYC (New York City!!!) on how to carve a turkey. I used this yesterday and it was the simplest and easiest and bestest I have ever carved a turkey. Thanks for whoever posted it. Dee

Went to carve the birds and found out they didn't have a carving knife and I forgot to bring my knife roll!! (Also the largest measuring cup she had was one cup!!)

I know what's on her Christmas list.

The idea of cutting the breast completely off and then slicing it is good also. I just found it the best way I've ever carved...of course, y'all should see some of my most ungood ones. :'( Dee
