How to Microwave a Turkey
When preparing to cook a turkey, most people immediately think of using a conventional oven. However, did you know that it is also possible to prepare a turkey using your microwave oven? This guide will provide you with step by step instructions on how to prepare a delicious "baked" turkey using your microwave oven.
Things You'll Need
- Turkey
- Microwave
- Large microwave-safe roasting bag
- Microwave-safe plate
- Meat thermometer
Instructions
-
Prep your defrosted turkey by removing all giblets and applying spices and seasonings to taste.
-
Take a large microwave safe roasting bag and place the turkey inside the bag. Loosely seal the bag with a non metal tie. The bag must be allowed to vent.
-
Place the bagged turkey on a microwave safe plate.
-
When putting the turkey into the microwave make sure there are three inches of top clearance and another two to three inches of space around the turkey.
-
Cooking times will vary depending on oven wattages, generally, nine to ten minutes per pound at fifty percent power is recommended. Consult your owners manual.
-
If your microwave does not have a turntable, rotating the turkey approximately halfway through the cooking time will ensure even doneness.
-
After the turkey has finished cooking open the roasting bag and insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the bird to make sure that it has reached an internal temperature of at least one hundred sixty five degrees.
-
When the turkey is done allow it to stand for twenty minutes before carving.
