Step
Separate the drumsticks
Separate the drumstick from the thigh by cutting through the joint. Repeat with the other drumstick.
Step
Remove the wishbone
Remove the wishbone, located at the front of the breast. Doing this will make it easier to carve the breast meat.
Step
Slice the breast meat
Starting halfway up the breast, slice downwards until the meat falls off. Repeat this until you’ve carved the whole turkey breast on both sides of the bird. Next, slice the breast meat at a slight angle.
Step
Arrange on a platter
Once sliced, place all your meat arranged beautifully on a platter and serve. Don’t forget the cranberry sauce!
