Microwave turkey.

(1/1)

Alleyyooper:
Started cooking our turkeys this way back in the 1960 with a wild turkey. Turned out so well have not did one in a conventional oven since.
At 10 minutes a pound it is much quicker too.

Ingredients
·1 turkey, small enough to fit in your microwave
·1 microwave-safe roasting bag
·spices and seasonings to taste

Prepare your defrosted turkey
·Remove the giblets and set aside for gravy
·Rinse the turkey thoroughly, inside and out, then pat the carcass dry with paper towels
·Apply your preferred seasoning rub.
·Place the seasoned turkey into the microwave safe roasting bag, close the bag (not completely, you need it to vent.
·Note: do not stuff the turkey. If you want stuffing, cook it separately otherwise it throws the cooking time completely out of whack.

Cook That Bird
·Set the bagged bird on a large plate in the microwave.
·Cook for around 10 minutes per pound at 50 percent power—this will vary depending on the size of the bird and the power of your microwave so it's best to undercook it slightly first then add time as needed. The turkey's done when a meat thermometer jammed into its deepest bits reads 165 F.
·Pull the bird out of its roasting bag and let stand for 15 to 20 minutes before carving.
