Just in the nick of time, my wife came through with a pointer to a very helpful article in the New York Times (registration required) describing an excellent turkey carving technique. She is hoping to save me from the ignominy of dinner-table turkey launching carving accidents (as described in the article) or worse ("Honey, remember to only cut through joints -- if you try to cut through bone, the bone you cut may be your own!"). The best part of the article is that it includes an excellent 6-minute demonstration video worthy of the Food Network. But to use this technique, you do have to be willing to forgo the Norman Rockwell moment of carving the bird-cum-centerpiece at the table with your adoring loved ones looking on -- with this method, you do the deed in the kitchen, on a cutting board.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I don't think the NYT requires reg any longer.

Scott, for whatever reason, the NYT required me to sign in to view this article. Those who have signed into NYT recently and accept cookies will not see a sign-in request (there, now you know I hadn't been on the NYT site in far too long!).
