My name is Brandon Sarkis on behalf of Expert Village. Today I'm going to show you how to carve a turkey. Okay so we've got our now armless and legless turkey. This one actually kind of leans to one side that makes it a little more difficult to work with. Come on stand up man, you've got it in you. Okay to slice our turkey breast we're going to abandon this knife for a second. Actually we're going to do one thing. Right where that shoulder joint is we're going to take our knife and we're just going to cut straight across all the way to the breast until you hit the ribcage, because now when you take the slicer and you start slicing pieces off they will fall off just like that which is oh so handy. So you can just go straight down and you'll see how once they hit that part where you've already got it cut it will fall off in these nice juicy pieces just like that. And with the turkey or with the breast here we are just following the contour of the breast straight down and this is a lot of the people's favorite part of the turkey. This is probably the best part to make a sandwich with. And when you get down to the rib area like I am, I'm pretty much right on top of the ribcage it gets a lot harder to slice and you will see it starts tearing up so we're going to abandon slicing it from that part on. We're actually going to get in here with that other knife here in a second and start picking that part off. So let's move all of our turkey breasts to our new location which is this other plate I've got over here. There is really no neat way to do this either it's pretty much always going to be a big old turkey mess. Alright let's do the other side now.
