Craftsmen Grandma's Turkey Wood Cutting Board with Feet &
Graphics
- This cutting board is the ideal gift for someone who has
never made a turkey--perhaps your son or daughter who's preparing
Thanksgiving for the first time away from home. Or maybe it's
a well-meaning but culinary-challenged friend. Maybe it's you!
This sturdy, hardwood maple turkey board has long-lasting, wood-burned
text and illustrations on it, provides insight into each step
of the process. From preliminary advice, "Send Grandpa hunting!
(Buy a backup bird)," through roasting temperatures and
carving tips, to leftover recipes, this turkey board is all that's
needed for a wonderful roast turkey (though the turkey itself
is not included).
