A rite of passage for many Americans is carving the Thanksgiving turkey. This process is exactly like carving a chicken, but larger. But considering the stakes and the holiday, it can be a little intimidating. We can help. The infographic below sums up How to Carve the Perfect Turkey.
We here at GrillinFools.com are dedicated to step by step, picture by picture, foolproof instructions on how to make amazing meals on the grill. Those instructions are never more important than this time of the year when so many are forgoing oven baked for a far superior grilled bird, freeing up the ovens for pies and sides. We have tons of great grilled turkey recipes from a traditional bird (brined of course), to deep fried without oil (that is not a typo), to that turkey in the pic above with butter and garlic stuffed under the skin, to cider brined turkey beast, to beer can turkey, to the Spatchcocked Turkey.
You haven’t had turkey until you’ve spatchcocked it!
But I feel that we have been remiss in that we didn’t fully explain the process of taking raw ingredients, grilling them to perfection and then bringing them to the dinner plate. See, just pulling a succulent turkey off the grill with that golden skin is not the end. There is still a great deal of meat that has to be carved.
The Perfect Turkey Carve Takes Practice.
Most people only get that practice when they have a household full of guests on the 4th Thursday in November. If that’s the case, it could take years to master. We decided it would be great if we gave everyone a primer on how to pull off the perfect carve. Truth be told, we borrowed this great info-graphic from the good folks at Bed, Bath and Beyond.

One more note, if after Thanksgiving there are some nights it’s just too cold to grill, and you are more interested in enjoying some comfort food out of the crock pot, we can help. We launched CookinFools.com just for those frigid winter nights or even sweltering summer evenings.

Thought I was set on my recipe for Thursday but now I am thinking about how great jerked turkey would be.

Hey, Scott, really appreciate the Char-Broil graphic on carving a turkey, but I can’t read it! Too blurry! I searched their website and couldn’t find it… any chance you post a higher-resolution capture or provide a link? Thank you!

Patrick,
Thank you for pointing that out. I’m not sure what happened to the quality of that pic so I got rid of it and found a pretty good substitute. I hope this helps. Happy Thanksgiving!
