Our Thanksgiving turkey turned out picture-perfect this year, thanks to my husband’s careful and devoted ministrations. I wouldn't want anything but the 'whole bird beautifulness' for Thanksgiving; but for other occasions you may want to try a boneless, stuffed turkey ‘loaf’. We happened to find a video by Chef John of ‘Food Wishes’, where he shows how to debone a turkey:

If you’d like to try first with something easier, try with a chicken; the process is practically the same, and a search on ‘deboning a chicken', will bring up lots of videos, including Jacques Pepin’s, whose videos are always very clear on technique.

A while back, I found a video on changing a duvet cover, using the 'Burrito Method'. I haven't tried this yet - my cats finally shredded my cover sufficiently that I threw it out, and haven't gotten a new one yet. But having endured several grueling experiences trying to change a cover by folding it in half and attempting to make the corners stay in their proper places, I found this intriguing. Let me know if you've tried it, and how it worked:
