During the acute phase which is usually the first 24 to 48 hours elastic bandage or small finger sized compression bandages can be used to help reduce swelling.

1 First, allow your cooked turkey to sit for about 20 minutes before starting to carve. 2  Beginning halfway up the breast, slice straight down with an even stroke. 3  When the knife reaches the cut above the wing joint, the slice should fall free on its own.
Place thawed turkey, breast side up, on flat rack in shallow roasting pan 2 to 2 1/2 inches deep. Brush or spray skin lightly with vegetable or cooking oil for best appearance. Insert oven-safe meat thermometer deep into the thigh without touching the bone. Place turkey in pre-heated oven and heat until hot (140Â° F).hen the turkey is about done, loosely cover breast and top of drumsticks with a piece of foil to prevent overcooking. Your turkey is done when temperature is 180Â° F in thigh and 165Â° F in breast or stuffing. Lift turkey onto platter, and let stand for 15 minutes before carving.
