    Thaw the turkey in the refrigerator over the next couple days, or put it in the sink and let it thaw under running water. then put it in a pan, rub oil and spices on it,and bake it until it is done :-) good luck

    that is clearly a chicken, please stay on subject here

    I would assume since they're both poultry it would translate. And the very scientific gif clearly says 12 minutes and 29 seconds.

    Only Turkeys microwave Turkeys. If you have an oven use it.

    I have had excellent turkey done in a slow cooker. I agree with the non-nukers. Yuk.

    I have to agree with everyone else. . .DON'T use the microwave to thaw or cook your turkey unless you want to insure that NO ONE eats it!

    It is a microwave oven. They're over fifty years old I'm sure it's safe.

    Forget the Microwave, I will do mine safely in the deep fryer.


    this is the best way to cook a turkey.. but without the fire...

    anything that needs a long period of time in the microwave prolly isn't a good idea as microwaves aren't sposed to be long term cooking. take it out now and thaw it and you should be good for thanksgiving. or thaw it in water in the sink change the water every couple hours and it should be thawed in a few hours
