How to Carve a Turkey With Top Chef Hosea Rosenberg

Score:  Just what the Thanksgiving doctor ordered.  Top Chef Hosea Rosenberg shows us how to carve a turkey with ease and confidence, in this featured video from Whole Foods Market.

Instructions via the video:

  • After letting your turkey rest for 20 minutes, place on the cutting board and pull out the aromatics.
  • Find the loose skin between the breast and the leg, carve downward to pull the leg away.  You can use a fork to help pry the leg off, and you may need to twist the leg to assist.
  • Next remove the drumstick from the thigh, taking your knife down the middle between the two.  Serve the leg whole or slice it if desired.  Slice the thigh diagonally, keeping the skin intact.
  • Next, take off the wings, you can either twist them by hand or use a knife.
  • Next, the breast meat.  Find the breastbone in the top center, and cut on both the right and left sides of the bone, letting the bone be your guide.  Slowly and carefully cut down across the ribcage.
  • Slice the breast meat into slices, and make a gorgeous display by fanning the slices on the platter.
  • Garnish your finished platter with fresh herbs.  You’re done, prepare for praise!
