Cooking Turkey Breast in DCB Microwave: Tried & True Tips!

In summary, the cooking time for a turkey breast in the DCB Microwave varies depending on its size, with a general rule of 7 minutes per pound. No additional liquid is needed as the turkey breast will create its own juices. It is possible to cook a frozen turkey breast in the DCB Microwave, but it is recommended to thaw it first. It is also recommended to cover the turkey breast while cooking to trap in moisture and ensure even cooking. To determine if the turkey breast is fully cooked, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature or cut into the thickest part of the breast to ensure there is no pink or red meat.

Has anyone tried doing a turkey breast in the DCB in the microwave? Kind of like the 30 min. chicken? If so, how long did it cook and what did you season it with?

TIA

I did one last week. My host said it was a boneless turkey breast, but when I got there, it was a 5 1/4 pound bone IN breast!! I didn't panic, I knew my DCB could handle it. I made the rub PC gave us for the chicken. Cooked it a total of 29 mins. It was beautiful and perfectly cooked and the guests gobbled it up (no pun intended ;) ) I sold 4 bakers at full price and had a $900 show!!

BTW, I did not cover the baker, I cooked it just like I would a chicken. HTH
 
Thanks Ruthie! That is good to know!
