My goal was to publish a blog post each Monday. Since I was traveling and visiting family yesterday, I put of posting till today. It will be a short post too.
In honour of Canadian Thanksgiving (which was my reason for traveling this past weekend) I will post about turkey carving.
Have you ever taken your turkey out of the oven and proceeded to hack away at it, trying to get pieces off that were a decent size and not completely mangled? This used to be me. Then I watched an episode of Martha Stewart that changed my life. I'm not a big television watcher so it's always nice when I learn something helpful when I do watch it.
Since it was a few years ago I can't remember the exact segment. However, on Martha Stewart's website she has instructions for a few different methods. The first link below is to the basic instructions for the method that I like and use. The second link is a video. It shows a guy carving a turkey in pretty much the exact method that I use. Also note that it's important for the turkey to rest for about 25 minutes after removing it from the oven. His hands would be burnt all over if that turkey had just been removed from the oven. Plus, allowing the turkey to rest helps the meat to stay together better while carving.
