Remove the turkey from heat at 160 degrees Fahrenheit, then let it rest for 20-30 minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute while carryover cooking raises its internal temperature by 5-10 degrees<\/p>\n<p>Rest time: 20-30 minutes under loose foil.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Carve a Turkey<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Remove the turkey legs, thighs, and drumsticks carefully, following the natural seam where the leg connects to the turkey.<\/li>\n<li>Remove the turkey breasts, carve along each side of the backbone, then gently remove as much of each side as possible in one slice.<\/li>\n<li>Remove the wings by finding a natural joint and separating them from the turkey.
