    Excellent. An expert like this will humbly say "No need to get crazy, just use your eye," and then quietly show you exactly how experienced and talented they are. This plate is a marvel to look at, and it looks so effortless

    This video rescued Thanksgiving! My father-in-law, who always carved the Thanksgiving bird, passed away last year. My mother in-law asked for a volunteer yesterday (no takers...). After watching Barrett's instructions, I was able to passably carve the bird and Thanksgiving was saved. Thanks NYT!

    I can’t believe I have been carving a Turkey wrong for 40 years. This looks simple and easy and will give it a try this thanksgiving

      Easy but if bird is too hot it can be frustrating. If too hot wear a pr. Of good fitting kitchen gloves.
      This method of carving really is the best !

      That's the mistake I always make !
      Trying to carve it when it's still too hot.
      Not making that mistake this year.
      Glad i found this video. So easy to carve a Turkey. I was always doing it wrong and being too hot made it much harder.

      You’re not carving it wrong. This is just one of many carving methods. Think of driving a Ford Truck down the road and then seeing other Truck brands on the road; that doesn’t mean your Trucking wrong. 😂

    • @briancantale2674
      @briancantale2674 Před 5 měsíci +1

      You should rest the bird for the same amount of time you cooked it. So if you cooked it 2 hours, you rest it 2 hours.

    • @anthonybo2307
      @anthonybo2307 Před 5 měsíci +2

      @@briancantale2674 that is just wrong because if you have a big bird you’re gonna be cooking it for like 5 to 6 hours and you’re not gonna want to let your meat sit for 5 to 6 hours😂

  • @toniwalljaudon3802

    Followed these instructions to the letter and it was *amazing*: simple, low-stress, beautiful. I kept the bird covered with foil + a towel while resting, then transferred portions of the bird back to the covered pan as I broke down the turkey, then sliced for serving onto a platter, also covered with foil between additions. This kept everything perfectly warm for serving. Also, highly recommend the vinyl gloves for insulation as Barrett suggests as the inner portions of the bird will still be quite hot. THANK YOU, Barrett!

    It’s not an EASY job when the turkey (or chicken ) is hot, but it IS satisfying & effective. I was taught this way by my dad & am always called to carve.
    I roast a chicken once a month., I carve it all & b/c I LOVE the bones - the carcass is my meal (just my husband & me)! Weird I know ! (Sometimes the carcass is for soup) ENJOY

    This is amazing! Many thanks! My girlfriend is American (I'm Swedish) and this is our first Thanksgiving together. With a moments notice she told me that I had to do the carving and I panicked.
    But I watched this video as I was doing it, and it turned out great! Just wish I had a sharper knife (skin started to slide off on the breast meat). But now I'll know for sure how to do this next year!
    We don't really eat Turkey over here except for sandwich meat, so this was exciting!

  • @brendamoon2660
    @brendamoon2660 Před 5 měsíci

    This was incredibly helpful. I usually spend hours after Thanksgiving dinner cutting the meat off the bone to refrigerate it. I decided to carve ahead of time since I've cooked the night before so the meat would cool quicker and I can put it in the refrigerator. This was so easy

    Very useful - thank you! I do wonder though if there is any way to cut up the leg meat? - it seems kind of unfair to just leave two legs when you are probably serving a group of 8+ people. Also I have heard from people who feel very awkward trying to eat a turkey leg at a thanksgiving meal - are you supposed to just caveman eat it or try and cut it up yourself somehow on your plate?

  • @michaelholloway2295
    @michaelholloway2295 Před 5 měsíci

    Hmmmm. Skipping right over the part where you need it cooked just right, not overcooked so that it falls apart when you look at it, with the skin supernaturally crispy just the way I've never been able to get it.

    @user-zx2sz5mv9d Před 4 měsíci

    Beautiful but... isn't the turkey completely cold at this point? I guess it shouldn't take 12 minutes when you are not talking to the camera, but still. And I guess warming up the plates would help.
    For me (a woman), the hardest part is to deal with all those men telling me how I should be doing it (and I know how to do it, believe me), then to sit everybody at the table when the turkey is ready...
