When cooking a turkey breast, my booklet gives cooking time but does not specifically say how to cook - are they the same as the whole turkey

My experience was that the cooking times in the book are accurate and cooking it in this roaster does make the breast meat nice and moist. If your family only likes breast meat you can actually fit two in the roaster at once. It will take a little longer to roast than one, but not double. Maybe 2-3 minutes more per TOTAL pound. I love the browning recipe that was in the booklet and use it for a nice golden color, but I also like to put herb butter between the skin and meat before roasting. Just lift the skin, leaving the major attachment at the breast bone and around the edges in place and use a paper towel to get this "pocket" as dry as possible. It helps the butter stick instead of sliding around. Per 1/4 lb of butter (which should do 2 breasts) add in 1 tsp of whatever dried herbs you prefer or 1 Tbs of finely minced fresh herbs. Hope this helps.

Recommend you Google recipes and instructions for "cooking a turkey breast". Lots of good tips.

I would think so using the rack. That's a question someone else could answer better than me.

Yes. I also recommend that you purchase an instant read thermometer also. The reason why is that with cooking a turkey your thermometer could be off a 1/4 of an inch and get a complete different reading. One other tip...don't submerge your prob in water to clean, it will ruin.

I've cooked roasts in my old one (same size) with no problem. The turkey breast should be fine. I find that I like roasts cooked in the Nesco better than the oven, especially when I cook them on low heat. Turkey should be very good in the Nesco as juices are retained. Enjoy!

There are Two good places to get this info. Go to "Lets Talk Bar B Que" forum and ask Tommy (TMB). Or look at Facebook "Charbroil TBE cooking forum" . (Its not the Char Broil site). I have cooked four turkeys on mine. They did great but its been a while. I use it a lot but not for turkeys. Be sure to brine and or inject the bird. Then give it 3-24 hours in the fridge to absorb the brine. The LTBBQ site listed above will give you lots of outdoor cooking help with a group of really good people. And remember, The internal temp is whats important. Not the amount of time. Time will vary for many reasons.... There are Two good places to get this info.

I'm assuming you mean a 7.5lb turkey breast. I would say yes, but it will need to cook on high for 12 hours.

I have had a 23 pound turkey in here. You need to loosely put foil over the turkey or it will turn black.I smiked the turkey for 5 hours then i finished in the oven at 350 to speed up the cook. Make sure to brine the turkey for 24 hours before cooking

No it's time controlled. We do Prime Rib and 20 minutes per pound is perfect. Pink in the middle and well doe on ends.

That is a tiny oven. We stuff the turkey and roast vegetables in the pan with it. Also cook the night before and reheat while the turkey sits before carving. Btw the plastic cooking bag is the nest way to a moist bird. Hope that helps

I try to get the point to the middle of the meat. Not sure if thats the best way to do it but it makes the most sense to me. Last part to cook is the middle and want to make sure the meat, especially chicken, is not raw.

I would recommend using one of the recipes from the included cook book or use the one from Betty Crocker cook book. But you could use either mix in a pinch though neither will come out as well as using a recipe.

The skin on my bird was crispy. I've never had a problem with roasting a turkey and not having crispy skin. I use the meat rack and check it periodically.

The only info I received with mine was a couple pages explaining how to use it and a couple recipes. U should have received some paper work on it. Contact the Co. U purchased it from.

I didn't receive a recipe book either. Mine has only been used for baking beans for a wedding reception. This is the best roaster I have ever had. Will make many things from roasting turkey, even chicken soup.

I got hold of a cooking chart from another brand (Morning Ware). It shows cooking times for fresh and frozen foods. It sets cooking temperature at 400 deg F. Times are approximate as usual for different brands but it is a reasonable guide. I find that you still have to turn meats at least once to even the cooking. Hope this helps. wfc.

We bought this as a gift for my mother-in-law and she has not cooked a turkey in it yet. However she did look at the recipe guide that came with the roaster and it does indicate that the amount of cooking minutes per pound is the same as a regular oven. I hope this helps!

Mine came with a general guide of cook times. This is just a guide since your cook times vary depending on microwave wattage. Cook times also depend on desired doneness...you'll probably have to experiment with this. I love mine and would definitely recommend.
