🦃🔪 Turkey Carving Time!

Before you dig into that delicious bird, keep these carving tips in mind so the only thing you’re serving up is smiles (and seconds 😉):

• Use a sharp knife—it’s actually safer than a dull one.
• Keep your cutting area dry and steady.
• Always carve away from yourself.
• Let the turkey rest before slicing.

Carve smart, stay safe, and enjoy every bite of your holiday feast!

And as always, if something goes awry, we’re here to help—just give us a call!
