With the United States gearing up for Thanksgiving weekend and the start of the 2009 holiday season, everyone’s attention is turning to cooking and putting on the best feats possible for their family and friends.

We’ve already seen how to make deviled eggs as a side dish and a green bean casserole for a healthy alternative. But now it’s time for the main event, with a video showing how to carve a turkey for Thanksgiving.

This instructional video takes you through all the steps needed to carve a turkey up. It ensures no waste, ensures the best cuts are kept fine and tender, and ensures no one will go hungry this Thanksgiving weekend.

The actual process of carving a turkey isn’t the nicest thing to watch, so I’d recommend doing it before you get to the table. Then your guests will only see the final product that you’ve spent hours lovingly cooking and crafting.
