This Thanksgiving, I have the honors of carving “The Bird” (a 21 pounder, to be exact – we’ve got like 28 people descending upon us tomorrow!). Unfortunately, I have no idea how to do this. Really! I mean, I’ve certainly tackled turkeys before… but my handiwork usually ends up resembling more of a hack-fest than something that would sit on Martha Stewart’s table.
So I thought to myself “hmm, self. I wonder if there are any helpful turkey tips out there in web 2.0 land?” And guess what??!?!!?? There are. Since you might also be as thanksgiving-turkey-carving challenged as me, I thought I’d pass along the tasty turkey tutorials to you, too:
- Carve Your Thanksgiving Turkey Like a Butcher – from Lifehacker (includes a lovely step-by-step image!)
- How to Carve Chicken and Turkey – from cooks.com (they should know how, right?)
- From eHow (How to do just about everything): How to Carve a Turkey – they list “Turkey” under a list of Things You’ll Need (probably a good reminder for me 🙂
- And of course, Butterball’s carving techniques
“But wait, David! I’m a visual learner – what about me?” OK – how’s about some YouTube videos?
- Turkey Carving by Cooking.com
- Turkey Carving 101 (from the Washington Post)
- Joy of Cooking: Turkey Carving
And finally, I leave you with It’s JerryTime – The Gobbler. Everyone (in the US anyway) – enjoy Thanksgiving!

I admit that I’m a fan of Alton Brown – http://youtube.com/watch?v=lEIDTZIqgUE – the carving part starts around the 5 minute mark.
