Carve before roasting

Skip the tedious sawing at the table―and speed up the roasting―by having the butcher cut your turkey into parts beforehand.

Then you can add the white meat to the oven after the dark, which means all of the meat will be juicy. Decorate the platter with graceful and very Western olive sprigs (order from your local florist).
