The recipe calls for me to take the legs off the turkey once its done and cook them separately a little longer. Am I supposed to present a legless turkey at the table?
You can still present the whole turkey on the table. If, when you carve off the legs, the thigh joints are a little pink, move the legs to a small pan (have one ready at the table) and put them back in the oven. The pink will fade during the time you are carving the breast. The pink joints are safe to eat, but need a little more heat and air in order for the coloring to fade.
