MICROWAVE TURKEY
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.

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!

MY MICROWAVE TURKEY MEATLOAF
The original recipe came with my first microwave and was made with ground beef. I made it originally because my Mom was working and I was the oldest and still at home. My Dad loved it and I liked it too when I hadn't really liked meatloaf before. When I got married I made it for my husband and he loved it as well. Then we started eating healthier, so I altered it to ground turkey instead. I've tried to increase this recipe, but for the microwave it doesn't really work. Some people like it made in a convection oven. Keep in mind you have to let the meatloaf stand or it won't be fully cooked.

Steps:
- Mix crushed saltines, egg. In a separate bowl mix mustard, 1 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar and 1/2 can tomato sauce. Add 1/2 (about 10 small spoons full) of the tomato mixture to the saltine mixture and mix well. Add the ground turkey and mix well. Put in a microwave safe bowl with a glass in the center. Top with 1 teaspoon chopped onion, mix all remaining tomato sauce together with the leftover 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar. Spoon a little tomato sauce mixture over top of the meatloaf, just until covered. Cover with waxed paper. Cook about 5 minutes 45 seconds. Let stand for 10 minutes. Times will vary depending on microwave.
