turkey carving
Holiday bird portioning
Turkey carving is the act of slicing a roasted turkey into serving portions, traditionally performed at the table during Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.
The task often falls to a designated family member, usually the host: Dad always does the turkey carving.
The term also refers to the skill itself: She's still learning proper turkey carving technique.
