I've done it in the Micro Wave, I think it took about 50-60 minutes total. Depending how strong your Micro Wave is....HTH
 
I've done a 9 lb. chicken in our Deep covered Baker in 30 minutes, so a 6 lb. Turkey breast, most likely will be about the same 30 minutes. Use your thermometer and test for 160 degrees to assure it is safe. You can use our Smokey BBQ rub for good color.
 
I did a small (3.5 lb.) bone-in turkey breast in the DCB the other night. It took 20 mins. cooking time and turned out fabulous! It was just as amazing looking as to 30 min. chicken. Hubby was impressed too!

I'll probably be doing this frequently since it's not only cheaper than buying sliced turkey breast from the deli or grocery, but it's way healthier than the sodium and preservative-packed pre-packaged stuff.
 
the problem I have found is the turkey breast bone is A LOT higher than a chicken.

The lid never would fit on mine.

You got a 9 lb chicken to work in 30 minutes? I had a 5 pound chicken once and it took forever to cook! And was almost too big for the baker!

I'm sure she must have meant 6lbs....I've never even seen a 9lb chicken. :eek:


But I'm with you...a 5lb takes 35-40 minutes for me, and I have a high wattage micro...
