Carving a turkey can create a messy situation if you don't have the right tools. A clever hack is to place a smaller cutting board inside a sheet pan to catch the juices. Use a wet paper towel underneath to prevent slipping, and make sure the cutting board is higher than the pan's edge to avoid hitting the metal with your knife. Additionally, place a damp kitchen towel under the pan for stability. After the turkey rests, transfer it to the sheet pan for carving. The pan can also be used to strain the juices into the gravy. To present the turkey at the table, hide the pan with fresh herbs or transfer the meat to a clean cutting board.
