You can still present it nicely if you carve it before it’s on the table.

This is so 1950s home ec class, I can’t even.

No one cares about this in 2023.


It’s home ecs because it works. Some people pay attention to food psychology, presentation, colors, layout, all the things that aren’t strictly “shove food in mouth”. Research shows that most people are influenced by these things, even if they can’t dissect and identify what contributes to their positive or negative feelings about a meal.

No one is asking YOU to do this. We’re just telling you that presentation matters.

No don’t cut it. Then it looks like leftovers. People want to see it first

Let the turkey rest for a good while, cut closer to eating.


Sorry, turkey is a vehicle for gravy. Nothing more.

I think it’s fine to carve early. We spatchcock our turkey so it’s already carved when we put it on the table.

That's what gravy is for.

Or you can put it back in a crock pot, on low with a drippings to keep it moist.
