Microwave Convection Cooking - www.MicrowaveConnect.com

Try this combination for smaller holiday dinners. The dressing is added toward the end of cooking to avoid overcooking and drying. The combination setting will keep the turkey moist. Use the standing time to cook potatoes and/or a vegetable.

1 1/3 cups water
2 tablespoons butter
1 pkg. (6 oz.) stuffing mix for turkey
1 (2-lb.) turkey breast half

Salt, if desired
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

TIPS · If you prefer dark meat, use 2 to 3 turkey thighs (about 2-1/2 lbs.).
>Apple jelly can be used for orange marmalade.

>Since stuffing contains an abundance of salt and turkey is often injected with a saline solution, omit salt if watching sodium.
