MICROWAVE TURKEY



Microwave Turkey image

The is one of two wonderful recipes my good buddy, Daves fixes. He got it out of the cookbook that came with his microwave, and as far as I know, is the only way he has ever cooked turkey in his life. Nuking turkey may sound weird, but this is the most moist, delicious turkey I have ever eaten, in addition to cooking in only 2 hours. It's one of the few things I actually cook in the microwave.

Categories     Whole Turkey

Time 17m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

14 -16 lbs turkey, thawed,neck and giblets removed,thoroughly rinsed inside and out,and patted dry
enough your favorite dressing, to stuff the bird (or 4 cups coarsely chopped onion, celery, oranges, apples, and parsley)
salt
fresh ground pepper
garlic granules
seasoning salt
lemon & herb seasoning
fresh sage leaf, if not stuffing the turkey with bread dressing
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or 2 tablespoons softened butter
2 -3 tablespoons flour

Steps:

  • Before attempting this recipe, make sure that your microwave is large enough to handle the bird.
  • If not, go buy a larger microwave.
  • It's worth it!
  • This recipe originated using a 650 watt microwave, but I've also used a 550 watt, a 950 watt, and most lately, a brand-new 1300 watt oven, which is almost too powerful.
  • Timing is based on the 650 watt oven and needs to be adjusted for other wattages.
  • Wash the turkey thoroughly inside and out, let drain well, and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Reserve the neck and gizzards for gravy, or discard, as desired.
  • Season the turkey generously inside and out as desired with salt, freshly ground black pepper, granulated garlic, onion powder, and lemon-herb seasoning.
  • Stuff and truss the turkey.
  • If you do not want to stuff it with dressing, be sure to stuff it full with coarsely chopped onions, celery, oranges, apples, parsley, and sage stems the onion mixture for the flavor and to ensure that cooking time is correct; timing is based on a stuffed bird.
  • Rub the outside of the turkey all over with olive oil or butter.
  • Wrap the wings and 2-3" of the ends of the legs with aluminum foil.
  • No, this small amount will not hurt your microwave!
  • Pour 2-3 Tbsp flour into a large plastic baking bag, and shake bag to coat the inside.
  • Place turkey in bag (you will probably need help), and loosely close the bag opening with a plastic tie.
  • If you close it tightly, the bag will probably explode due to steam buildup about half way through cooking!
  • Place the bagged turkey, breast-side down, in a 9"x13"x2" microwave-safe baking dish, or a larger one if your microwave can handle it.
  • Although the dish is not necessary, it sure makes it a lot easier to handle the turkey later and can compensate for a leaky baking bag.
  • Leaks do happen, just ask the CIA and FBI.
  • If the turkey is stuffed with bread dressing, microwave on HIGH for 50 minutes, rotating 180 degrees after 25 minutes.
  • Remove from microwave, and turn turkey breast side up.
  • Again, you will probably need some help.
  • If the breast skin is stuck to the bag, try to release it, but don't get too carried away.
  • Return turkey to the oven, rotating 180 degrees, and microwave on HIGH for an additional 50 minutes, rotating again after 25 minutes.
  • If turkey is stuffed with veggies, not stuffed with bread dressing, reduce times from 50 minutes to 45 minutes.
  • You can even use this method to cook a 5-6 pound bone-in turkey breast by reducing cooking times from 50 minutes to 20-25 minutes The best way to test for doneness is with an instant-read thermometer, stuck into the breast, not touching a bone, which should register 170-175 degrees F.
  • Do not rely on the pop-up indicator that might have come with the turkey or on the timing cited above for final doneness.
  • Use the thermometer!
  • Temperature of the turkey will rise another 5-10 degrees F while the turkey rests.
  • Remove the turkey from the microwave.
  • Drain juices from the baking bag, degrease, and use to make your favorite gravy recipe.
  • You can either let the turkey stay in the bag or remove it to a serving platter and tent with foil.
  • In either case, allow the turkey to rest for 15-20 minutes before carving.
  • Enjoy, with any accompaniments you desire!

MICROWAVED TURKEY - NO, I'M NOT KIDDING!



Microwaved Turkey - No, I'm not kidding! image

I live in Texas and even at Thanksgiving and Christmas it can be hot enough that several hours with an hot oven can be uncomfortable. So-o-o, I learned to use my microwave oven for preparing complete meals. Silly me! I haven't oven roasted a turkey in 15 years. I found this method in a cookbook that I bought with my first microwave oven and have been using it ever since. Be assured that this bird WILL brown to a shade of tan that a Hollywood star pays thousands for in a tanning salon.

Categories     Whole Turkey

Time 2h30m

Yield 1 Turkey

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 whole turkey, thawed completely
olive oil

Steps:

  • Whatever stuffing you want to use, or none.
  • This method of preparing your turkey IS different.
  • But, the turkey should turn out with a lovely brown color, fall off the bones tender and more than enough juice to make as much gravy as you could want.
  • Empty all cavities, wash, pat dry and rub outside with olive oil, feel free to use any seasonings that you want.
  • Stuff if you want and truss with string, or skewers.
  • MOST modern microwave ovens will tolerate a moderate amount of metal.
  • Refer to your owner's manual for details if you're not sure.
  • Place breast side down on microwave proof roasting pan or rack in baking dish.
  • Cover with waxed paper and cook on HIGH 2 MIN.
  • PER POUND.
  • Flip the bird breast side up and turn 1/2 rotation if you don't use a turntable.
  • Cover wings, ends of drumsticks and top of breast with foil, secure with toothpicks and replace wax paper.
  • Cook at 50% FOR 70- 90 MIN.
  • (turn 1/2 rotation every 30 min. if no turntable.) or 185F in thickest part of breast.
  • Baste freequently with juices in pan.
  • Let your bird rest for at least 15 minutes before carving.
  • This is a good time to make your gravy.
