Step 1: Locate the Wishbone
This step takes place before you start cooking the
turkey. It’s even more important with a turkey than
with a chicken, making your carving job at the table
far easier. Start by pulling back the flap of skin at
the neck and finding the small Y-shaped bone that
runs along the top of both breast halves.
Step 2: First Incision
Make your first cut on one side of one branch in the
wishbone with the tip of a sharp boning, chef’s, or
paring knife.
Step 3: The Other Side
Repeat on the other side of the same branch, running
the tip of the knife along it. Repeat on the opposite
branch, making 4 incisions total.
