Never microwave meat! If you need to thaw it quickly, put it in a sink of cold water and keep changing the water about every hour. It will thaw within a few hours ...0

There are convection microwaves now that cook like a microwave and oven all in one. It would take about 90 minutes.0

Having experienced the results of roast chicken cooked in a convection microwave I would say No Thank You. :noway: It does not turn out the same.0 -
I'd say around 90 minutes, if you put some eggs in their shell in there with it, it should cook a lot faster.0

I think the most healthy way is to eat it raw...start thawing and gnawing now0

that is clearly a chicken, please stay on subject here0 -
According to the USDA, 15minutes per pound on 50% power. Turn often to get even cooking. You may use a cook bag if desired. Will you like the results? Maybe not.0

I would assume since they're both poultry it would translate. And the very scientific gif clearly says 12 minutes and 29 seconds.0 -
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 luck0

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!0

It is a microwave oven. They're over fifty years old I'm sure it's safe.0
