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.
1 Tent the turkey with foil and place back in the oven. 2  While the turkey is roasting, make a stock for your gravy (follow our recipe here) , reserving one quart of that stock for later to heat the carved meat (see step 18 below). Place the turkey over the rack so that it saddles the rack breast up. 2  Bend the wing tips under the wings and tuck the leg ends down into the rack so the turkey doesnât slide. 3  Brush the turkey with the melted butter and then sprinkle the salt. 4  Place in the pre-heated oven uncovered for 30 minutes to brown.
