With the season approaching I have a late-to-the-party tip. Instead of one large turkey, roast two smaller birds. You can dress the best looking one for presentation on the platter and surround it with the other’s carved remains. I add chopped apples to the cavity mix (onion, celery, carrot, garlic, herbs–briefly sauteed and loosely packed) of my brined turkeys. Place more chopped veggies and apples with the giblets in a drip pan on the bottom of the oven and set the birds directly on the rack above. The drippings make the most fantastic gravy you’ll ever serve.

Great article. I don’t know how much salt brining adds to the turkey but since I have hypertension and my significant other has to restrict her sodium intake, I don’t brine my turkey. Like Chuck I put butter on the outside of the turkey and I also put some seasoned butter under the skin. All you need to do is melt some butter, add your seasoning(s) (your choice), harden the butter in the fridge and then take pieces of it and slip it under the skin. It takes a couple of minutes but it makes the skin nice and crispy and adds moisture to the meat. The seasoning(s) get into the meat and make for a really great turkey.

I cook mine using indirect heat on a Webber Charcoal Grill. Try putting some butter with rosemary, thyme and sage under the skin which will also help keep the bird moist. I use some hickory chips, makes a nice smokey gravy

THANK YOU for this wonderful instructional video!

Today was my first time as host for a large family Thanksgiving get-together, and as the host it was my honor to carve the turkey. Your video outlined everything so well that I was able to do a bang-up job my first time, with just my trusty Chicago Cutlery carving knife!

I didn’t expect to have as much fun as I had. It was a BLAST! People were complementing my work and amazed that it was my first time carving. I felt such pride at being to step up to the plate on this rite of passage.

Again, thank you so much for really adding to my enjoyment of the holiday. I’ve been a fan of Art of Manliness for some time now, but now I’m a real zealot!

@Chris - A gentleman should be able to accomplish the task at table and remain properly attired. The use of tongs to manipluate the excision of the leg quarter and the wing section should create little problem. Slicing carefully following the rib bones until the breast meat is almost-but-not completely severed from the carcass allows wonderfully neat slices to be severed by cutting at a right angle to the severing cut. Quite easily done, but I seem to have misplaced my kinotropic records of the task. A shame, rather.

Uh, Chris is right. A real man would carve it in front of guests, which would definitely require a more subtle approach:
