That's really quite helpful; I usually mangle my turkey with an electric knife whilst cursing and burning my fingers.....'It's hard to carve a piping hot bird'.....wow ...epiphany

This is meaningless technique for carving the hot bird that comes out of your oven or deep fryer--though he's all right about the location and sensibilities of the joints. Who didn't know that though?

I carved 2 turkeys this way today, going to start carving them this way every time. I let the turkeys set 30 minutes out of the oven with foil and a towel over them and they were cooled off enough to cut in 30 minutes.

Darn , a bit too late , My turkey looked like a tornado went thru.
