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. Once the swelling has died down the finger should be taped to protect the injured ligament while it heals. The taping will be specific to the ligament injured.
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.
Crisping - I recommend this if you plan a slow method for grilling turkey. Preheat your oven to 475 degrees. After your bird is cleaned and dried, rub it with 1 tbs. of unsalted butter then sprinkle it with salt and pepper. Once the oven temperature is reached, place the turkey in the oven for 20 minutes. This will quickly cook the skin and seal in the juices. As you grill your turkey, the skin will crisp and will allow the bird to cook in its own juices, keeping the breast moist and flavorful.
