Place the turkey breast-side up. It will look like a deflated balloon of a bodybuilder. Now, grab one of its drumsticks by the ankle. Yes, I’m calling it an ankle. Pull it outward, away from the body. You’ll see a flap of skin and a little pocket where the leg meets the torso. That’s your target.
Take your sharpest knife. Dull knives are for butter, not for birds. Slide the knife straight down into that pocket, cutting through the skin and the joint. You’ll feel a pop—that’s the hip socket saying, “I quit.” Cut through to separate the leg completely. Don’t saw like a lumberjack; use a clean, firm slice. Repeat for the other leg. Congratulations, you’ve just disarmed your enemy.
