Carving the Roasted Turkey

First of all, I would like to wish everyone a safe & blessed Happy New Year.  Hope your holidays were exciting & able to spend them with your family & friends.  We had hosted our Christmas Eve gathering with all of my side of the family gathering our our home.  Our tradition is that everyone brings a dish whether it’s meat, vegetable, snacks or dessert.

This year I fixed a roasted turkey.  I had injected a butter flavor marinade in the turkey prior to cooking it.  Since I had purchased a Nuwave Infared Oven, I wanted to try it out.  It worked great.  It took about 3 hrs to cook a 13 pound turkey. My husband used an electric knife to carve it especially the breast meat.  Using the electric knife made the carving job go a lot quicker than if he had used a sharp knife & everyone enjoyed eating the turkey.
