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.
Once the turkey is out of the oven, loosely cover it with tin foil and let it rest at least 20 minutes to 30 minutes. When carving the turkey, make sure you have a sharp knife and be sure to carve it in the kitchen â not at the dinner table. Any spills or mishaps should happen behind closed doors.
