["Before attempting this recipe, make sure that your microwave is large enough to handle the bird.", "If not, go buy a larger microwave.", "It's worth it!", "This recipe originated using a 650 watt microwave, but I've also used a 550 watt, a 950 watt, and most lately, a brand-new 1300 watt oven, which is almost too powerful.", "Timing is based on the 650 watt oven and needs to be adjusted for other wattages.", "Wash the turkey thoroughly inside and out, let drain well, and pat dry with paper towels.", "Reserve the neck and gizzards for gravy, or discard, as desired.", "Season the turkey generously inside and out as desired with salt, freshly ground black pepper, granulated garlic, onion powder, and lemon-herb seasoning.", "Stuff and truss the turkey.", "If you do not want to stuff it with dressing, be sure to stuff it full with coarsely chopped onions, celery, oranges, apples, parsley, and sage stems the onion mixture for the flavor and to ensure that cooking time is correct; timing is based on a stuffed bird.", "Rub the outside of the turkey all over with olive oil or butter.", "Wrap the wings and 2-3\" of the ends of the legs with aluminum foil.""
