That's very interesting, Fabienne, and it makes alot of sense. However, I don't like the looks of those thick chunks of white meat. I like my turkey in thin slices!
The video that followed, on how to make dressing, was also very good. I might just use that recipe!

I just knew that Monroe and his electric knife was all wrong! :D

The whole thing about carving at the table (as the butcher said) is also wrong. I've known that for years! Some people suggest roasting two turkeys: one for "show" and one to eat!

While I wouldn't really do it, I like that image: All the expectant upturned faces at the table, gazing at the closed kitchen door in hushed anticipation. Then the the door swings open and the chef comes in carrying the large platter with the whole turkey on it, the guests cheer its arrival. The chef makes a complete tour around the dining room, and goes back through the kitchen door. Before the last cheer has stopped echoing, back the chef comes, with an identical platter, but this time with elegantly carved turkey slices arranged on it. The guests gasp in wonder...

That actually would be alot of fun, wouldn't it? You could "roast" the "show" turkey with a blowtorch (which is apparently what food stylists do to give the turkey a perfectly browned exterior for food photos) and then come back with the perfectly cooked and perfectly carved turkey on the platter...
