Let it rest tented with foil for 30 minutes so the turkey can carryover-cook and reach a final internal temperature of 165\u00b0F. Check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/turkey-cooking-tips-and-tricks\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">tips and tricks for cooking turkey<\/a> for a golden brown and delicious turkey.<\/li>\n<li>Sharpen your knives and remove the twine and thermometer from the turkey.<\/li>\n<li>Remove the turkey legs. Using a boning knife, remove both thighs and drumsticks carefully, following the natural seam where the leg connects to the turkey. Set aside.<\/li>\n<li>Remove the turkey breasts. Using a boning knife, carve along each side of the backbone, then gently remove as much of each side of the turkey breast as possible in one slice. Set aside.<\/li>\n<li>Remove the wings. Find the natural joint of the wing and separate it from the turkey with a boning knife. Repeat on other side and set aside.<\/li>\n<li>Using your hands, remove any additional meat from the bone.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><strong>How to Serve and Plate Turkey<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Now that you\u2019ve removed all the meat from the turkey, let\u2019s carve it for serving. Make sure to separate white and dark meat on the serving platter, as most guests do have a preference.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Remove the thigh from the drumstick with a boning knife, following the natural line. You may need to pop the joint to remove it. Plate drumsticks.<\/li>\n<li>Remove the bone from the remaining thighs. Use a chef\u2019s knife to cut into serving slices and plate with the dark meat.<\/li>\n<li>Slice each turkey breast against the grain at a bias. Use a serving fork to hold the meat and guide the chef\u2019s knife to cut at a 45-degree angle. Plate with white meat.<\/li>\n<li>Plate wings with dark meat.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This Thanksgiving, you will be a turkey carving pro.
