Family and friends gathered around the festive Thanksgiving table.  An assortment of dishes heaping with delicious side dishes.  The golden turkey appears atop its platter, steaming hot, filling the room with the rich aroma of Thanksgiving.

Then you get a cold chill up your spine as you are handed the carving tools, and asked to "Do the Honors".

It doesn't matter whether the meal was prepared at home, or whether you enlisted the help of a professional kitchen - once the bird is on your table, someone has to do the carving.

Fear not, loyal H-Town Chow Down fans.  We've brought you instructions on how to properly carve that ominous Thanksgiving turkey.  Special thanks to our friends at the Food Network who created this video.
