I enjoy watching some cooking shows. I saw a show recently by Jacques Pepin. When he cooks a turkey he chops off the knob on the end of the leg or drumstick. Then when the bird is cooked the tendons in the leg can be pulled out and removed making the leg easier to deal with. He also uses a sharp knife to remove the wish bone before cooking and this allows for much easier carving of the breast once the bird is cooked.
