Cooking a Turkey Breast in the DCB Microwave: A Recipe Guide

[lrice]

Has anyone cooked a turkey breast in the DCB in the microwave? A host wants to do this for her show next week and I can't find a recipe.

dont know about the turkey breast...but just re-iterating that the 1 lb. pork tenderloins are the "bomb"...had 1 I picked up from walmart...it was a teriyaki marinated one...thought I'd try it...it take about 14 minutes, but is absolutely delicious...juicy and sliced right up....

Sorry y'all. She did the JennyO turkey breast thing not a "real" breast. I'm not much help.

No, I haven't done the breast in the microwave, but in the oven. I would think that you should be able to find an oven/microwave time conversion table online. When I preapered mine in the oven, I simply used a variation of the 30 min chicken recipe and placed garlic cloves under the skin and it turned out wonderfully. My only suggestion is to make sure the breast is not taller than the DCB; mine was, I had to lay it down on it's side, cooked it for 1/2 of the time and then flipped it onto the other side...it was the juciest turkey breast I've ever had. Good Luck!!

Please let us know how the turkey breast turned out. I'd suggest that you use our thermometer to make sure the thickest part of the breast has reached 180 degrees before you serve it.

Well, I finally did the turkey breast in my DCB. It was a Jennie-O turkey breast about 6.5 lbs. and in my microwave, it took about 40 min. I lightly coated it with EVOO and salt and pepper. I cooked it without the lid. After it reached 165 degrees, I took it out of the oven, covered it and let it rest for about 10 min. I thought it turned out GREAT!
