Take the turkey out of its packaging and place it on a plate or dish. Make sure the plate or dish has at least 1in (2.5cm) of room between the turkey and the sides so that any juices don't spill over the edges. Don't put the turkey in the microwave in its regular packaging because it can melt or catch on fire. Put the ground turkey in the microwave and set the power to 50%, or use the defrost function. Keep defrosting it in increments of 1 minute if it is still not thawed after the initial cook time. Rotate the meat in the microwave after the first 2 minutes if you need to defrost it longer. This will help it thaw evenly since microwaves have some spots that get hotter than others. You need to cook the ground turkey quickly after you thaw it in the microwave to avoid letting bacteria grow. Refrigerate or freeze any leftovers after you cook the turkey. Some of the ground turkey will likely start to cook while it thaws in the microwave, which is why it is easier for bacteria to grow on turkey thawed in this way. If the turkey is already partially defrosted, then start with 1 minute per 1lb (0.45kg) instead of 2 minutes.
