If you had, you would 1) be fully aware that all dairy products are low-fat, reduced-fat, no-fat, non-dairy and rarely resemble an actual dairy product. 2) be not a bit surprised that the turkey was cooked in the microwave and 3) be shocked that they allowed anything that tastes as good as gravy and may have the potential to clog their arteries just by setting their eyes on it to be made in their kitchen. But then again, WW's mom is the sister of a man who thinks 3 week old wine that has turned to vinegar is perfectly acceptable to serve to his wife and daughter the day after thanksgiving for a "nice dinner." (that would be my dad) So on behalf of the gene pool that thinks non dairy dairy products, microwaved turkey and vingerary wine are all acceptable food items, please propose to WW so someone in our family will be able to cook!

Look, you guys know me - I have NO problem voicing my displeasure. To this day I still bitch about that vegan travesty a couple years ago. This turkey was good. Have I had better? Yes. But I've got a pretty big microwave, and for how much it cuts down on time and effort, I might be having a Thanksgiving in March next year. That being said, I think Thunder Lizard has some great points about the paper clip. I swear - if I hadn’t been told about the microwave I never would have guessed.

As part of a family that makes 4 turkeys on Thanksgiving (one fried, one on the weber grill, one smoked and a traditional oven turkey) I am with OG. I think that knocks WW down from "eternity band" to paper clip bent in a circle like fashion in my wedding ring suggestion book. Jesus. Microwaved turkey?

I know you are supposed to be really nice and eat everything with a smile when your at your girlfriend's parents house, but I don't know if I could have kept my cool over microwaved turkey. Below is a video of how I might react. Just replace the word "coffee" with "turkey" and the word "crystals" with the phrase "that has been cooked in a microwave" http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=544067 If you set your hot water heater high enough you could probably cook potatoes in a dish washer.

That must also be one big ass microwave to fit something bigger than a chicken. Not that I’ll recreate that which sounds like an abomination, but could I please see the recipe for microwaved turkey?

But here's what I did. I deglazed the turkey pan* with chicken stock. Then once the roux got a bit brown I mixed in the stock/turkey bit mixture until I had sweet sweet gravy. Then I did my victory dance, and sneered in superiority at all of WW's family. (They weren't looking at me at the time, but I would bet they still felt it.) *By the way, WW's mom made her turkey in the microwave. And it was really good. Even the white meat, which sits in the back of the stomach bus as far as my culinary segregation goes. oh, you gotta have a roux. But here’s what I did. I deglazed the turkey pan* with chicken stock.
