Carving my first turkey ever in my 40 years of life and this made it seem really easy. For a first video, now I'm confident to get it done! new favorite channel!
First of all the camera loves you, second of all your vibe is infectious John. I feel like you could do a breakdown of anything and I couldn’t help but have a smile on my face. Really well done, cheers to you and yours 🍷
You make it look so easy. Mine looks like a ten year old did it. One Thanksgiving dinner, we asked a cleaning lady to help in the kitchen. We had 40 people over. I made the mistake of asking her if she knew how to carve the the turkey. She said yes. Our jaws hit the floor watching her rip the turkey bare handed into pieces. Live and learn!!
I used to cook at a country club so I was always the designated “carver” for gatherings. Jokes on them because I was a pastry chef lol and had never had to carve a turkey for my job. I did carve roast beef and one time I did a MASSIVE “steamship cut” (150-200lb chunk of beef) for our buffet events but never a turkey! At least I know now. Absolutely love this channel.
Thank you SO MUCH for this, John. I have been cooking Thanksgiving dinner for 30 years, and I confess I hadn't been letting the turkey sit for 30 minutes before carving. I'm going to try that this year thanks to you!!
I’ve been taking the breast off of the turkey for years. So many people have gasped when I have done it in the beginning then were in awe after. This is very validating ❤
John, the best turkey i have ever fixed was last year! Doing it exactly how you showed in the video i watched. Doing it again this year. Not only was it beautiful it was delicious 😋
John, this was one of the best videos at carving a bird. I’ve always hated the thighs (hardest part) and I’ve never seen this technique of removing the bone before you slice them. Brilliant! Love your videos!
Thank you, John. I am so excited to cook my turkey this year. I’m 70 years old and have never baked a turkey. I just watched your video on that and then jumped right over here to see how to carve it. I feel so encouraged and confident That this bird is going to be delicious. Plus, the reason I’m even cooking a turkey this year (its just me), well, my main goal is to make turkey stock and soup. And you told us how to do that here. So I’m extra excited! Thank you so much, again. I really enjoy your videos. You give a wonderful presentation, I love your humor, and it’s just like being there with you in the kitchen, especially when there’s little mishaps. How you saved that torn turkey by sewing it together with pins… Brilliant! Who’d dah thunk it 😆 From Santa Cruz, California I wish you and yours everything that’s good and wonderful for the holidays and always❤
I am the same, I absolutely love making Thanksgiving dinner and my husband helps with sides and settings. I just always feel like I’m manhandling the turkey when I carve it but it is so satisfying when it is all done and presented.
Great for just sending my adult sons to learn how to carve the turkey this year. Just realized I need a huge new cutting board as the one I had broke a few months ago.
Hi John, It's the day after Thanksgiving and I wanted to thank you so much for this video. I watched it and sent it to my husband (he's the carver in the family). He followed your instructions and said it was the easiest time he's ever had carving the turkey. Thanks so much for the video. PS: I also followed your turkey roasting instructions and was told repeatedly it was the best turkey they'd ever tasted. So glad I found you here. 😊😊
" we Thank the turkey for everything that it gives us" he even felt a little sad. was grateful respectful and mindful . Happy thanks giving Today November 28 Thursday of 2024, may you also be grace and shower with love.
I did that once, also I have cooked a turkey The trash can method where you use a galvanized trash can and I also smoked one in my Weber. The one on the Weber that was smoked I carved up like this My wife she wasn't mad but she wasn't happy because seeing those large chunks instead of slice thinly It was hard for her to adapt to a different way of doing it. It came out great moist juicy tender flavorful but she preferred thin slices.😊
Greetings from the west of Ireland. We don't have thanksgiving. But, i guess we"re thankful its not pissing out of the heavens at the moment! I'm looking at this for tips for Christmas day. Just wondering if the meat would be nearly cold after all the carving and how to reheat?
I’ve been carving our family turkey for over 30 years and just learned something new! Thank you! Can you make a video on what to do with the carcass. I’d love to make stock or soup. Thanks.
I'm hosting my first turkey day this year, and every side I'm preparing is from your Thanksgiving playlist. Your recipes always get me through every kitchen endeavor, so I knew you were the man to go to for my first Thanksgiving. God bless you!
In regards to your biscuit recipe, once they are baked and cooled, how long will they keep for? Should I store them in a ziplock bag or some sort of airtight container? Thanks!!!!
Very helpful and thanks for posting. Just one question: after the cooked turkey's been sitting for at least 30 minutes and after spending 15 minutes carving it (exposing it to air), the meat will no longer be warm. At least that's been my experience. Do you reheat the bird on a platter or do you just rely on hot gravy to keep it warm. Again, thanks.
Hey John - one teeny, tiny issue. @0:29, you refer to a honing steel as "your sharpener.". A honing steel is NOT a knife sharpener. It merely focuses the edge of the knife, but does nothing to actually sharpen it. Please address this in a future video. I was previously misled on this fact by another UA-camr and I made an absolute fool of myself in a cooking class. The chef schooled me in front of 8 peers. I'd hate for any of your viewers to carry forward this misnomer.
Looks amazing and I feel confident now that I can carve it. Question though... isn't the turkey cold by the time all this is done? Seems like resting for 30 minutes and then all the time it's going to take to carve this up... do you end up having to heat it back up before serving?

I was the carver last year by default. Had no idea what I was doing. This year I’m excited after watching this video. Thank you!
Got me an electric turkey cutter this year lol😅

Thank you SO MUCH for this, John. I have been cooking Thanksgiving dinner for 30 years, and I confess I hadn't been letting the turkey sit for 30 minutes before carving. I'm going to try that this year thanks to you!!
I got something special for you my fan
I got something special for you my fan
30 mins is typical; kitchen shears will be new (I've a pair-never used on Turkey).
Same I haven't been letting it sit for 30min either. I'm gonna do that and try his method of carving.
Yes, we did it for the first time this year and wow, what a difference it made.
I’ve been taking the breast off of the turkey for years. So many people have gasped when I have done it in the beginning then were in awe after. This is very validating ❤
This was masterful. No way it’s as easy as he made it look. He appears to have lots of experience
John, the best turkey i have ever fixed was last year! Doing it exactly how you showed in the video i watched. Doing it again this year. Not only was it beautiful it was delicious 😋

No the Turkey is the Star ⭐️ at my house 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

Thank you! I never learned to do this. Cheers from Québec Canada.
Yes. I always sharpen my knife over the cutting board or turkey to get that extra metal each year.
This was a much needed video thank you so much for making it
I did that once, also I have cooked a turkey The trash can method where you use a galvanized trash can and I also smoked one in my Weber.

I'm definitely bookmarking this video. Thanks for the carving tips - especially the kitchen shears!

Holy Smokes !!!

Yippie !
Please please please make a video of your Butterscotch Cake recipe soon! Need it for the holidays! The perfect Fall cake.
I got something special for you my fan
Just carved our bird beautifully with your video! We did your sweet potatoes this year too. Thanks!
This is so very helpful. Since, I just cook the turkey and my Dad and son n law carve the turkey. So now I know how to do this ❤❤❤!!!
I’ve been carving our family turkey for over 30 years and just learned something new! Thank you! Can you make a video on what to do with the carcass. I’d love to make stock or soup. Thanks.
Thank you for the video, John! I followed this and my turkey looks great.
I'm hosting my first turkey day this year, and every side I'm preparing is from your Thanksgiving playlist.
Your recipes always get me through every kitchen endeavor, so I knew you were the man to go to for my first Thanksgiving. God bless you!
Nicely done! 🦃 Thank you!
Beautiful presentation
Letting the turkey rest was a game changer. Moist.
That looks easy I'm going to try 😮 Lord knows how it will turn out 🙏🏼
This is so much easier than having to carve your own serving
I got something special for you my fan
Love love you videos, thank you for sharing your beautiful gift of cooking and platting things so beautifully. Your awesome.
Perfect!! I need to look at the sweet potato casserole recipe now!!
This is making me hungry just watching this 😢😢😢
Thanks, I appreciate it all your recipes. Blessings for you and your family 🙏
Thanks for teaching this skill!
Thanks John .!!
From CALIFORNIA.❤
Can't wait for Thanksgiving 😩
Great videos, love your recipes and methods
Just make sure I was doing my right but this is a good video anyway!It’s literally me cutting a chicken!!
Beautifully presented!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours ❤❤
Thanks John. I would definitely enjoy that
Wonderful work! Thank you for the video!
Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 Looks good! Thanks for sharing ❤️ Blessings 🙏🏻❤️
I don't know how to cut the chicken shoo thank you very much friend God bless your family happy Friday much appreciated
Looks so delicious
Great video, John
Loving this it's looking so delicious 👍❤️👍
I love this! Looks so amazing! ❤
Thank you John. I just giggled a little because, now the meat is cold. 🥺
In my experience it's not cold. After resting 30 minutes or even twice as long, the meat is still hot. Just carve quickly and don't mess around!
Very educational!
Helpful video John, thank you. Also can you provide the maker of your copper roasting pan? It’s beautiful.
Looks delicious
Beautiful 😋
Do you have any quince recipes?
Works great! 🦃
Fantastic!
It's like cutting up a chicken, only bigger... Thank you John!!!
Great video John !!
Thanks I always have trouble only with the breast , I end up leaving a lot of meat on the bone of the Turkey ! Thanks again !
Im canadian so our Thanksgiving has already passed :(. But I will save this video for next year ahaha
❤❤❤🌿✨thank you very much ✨💚✨ 9:05 ✨💚✨
🇨🇷 Hello John. 😊
Thank you much for the video.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and family.❤ 🇺🇲
This is nice for an indoor dinner platter, I wish you had drizzled gravy over it 😊
Best rule model ❤
Delicious ❤
Cool video man!
In regards to your biscuit recipe, once they are baked and cooled, how long will they keep for? Should I store them in a ziplock bag or some sort of airtight container? Thanks!!!!
Thank you so much.😊
Thanks John
How do keep the turkey feom drying out after cutting up and on platter. It seems you serve the meat cold?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's not cold. Trust me on that. After a 30-60 minute rest that turkey is still hot and often too hot to handle
Thank you dude
Thank you very much sir
Delicious.
Could you please show a recipe for one person? I lost my family, but I would like to continue our family tradition.
Where do
You live
Thanks bruh 🎉
Looks delicious! Wonder what it's rubbed with.
I got something special for you my fans

Oh my goodness, this is great!! I always destroy the turkey every thanksgiving. Now I want turkey, yum!

Hey John - one teeny, tiny issue. @0:29, you refer to a honing steel as "your sharpener.". A honing steel is NOT a knife sharpener. It merely focuses the edge of the knife, but does nothing to actually sharpen it.
Please address this in a future video. I was previously misled on this fact by another UA-camr and I made an absolute fool of myself in a cooking class. The chef schooled me in front of 8 peers.
I'd hate for any of your viewers to carry forward this misnomer.
Exactly! A steel does not sharpen a blade. It's just a tune up
Thanks John :)
Looks amazing and I feel confident now that I can carve it. Question though... isn't the turkey cold by the time all this is done? Seems like resting for 30 minutes and then all the time it's going to take to carve this up... do you end up having to heat it back up before serving?
Just eat it with hot gravy
What seasoning did you use to cook the Turkey?
I always wonder if I one moves the knife across the sharp bar or the sharp bar across the knife?
