Turkey in a microwave
Like most of the Internet, our office has been consumed by the #microwaveturkey prank. [Prank primer: You text someone (moms are usually great victims) and ask how to cook a turkey in a microwave. Then take a screenshot of the response and share on social media.]
So, in the name of journalism, the MSPMAG staff set out to conduct this prank, asking their loved ones—and even a few well-known local chefs—how to go about cooking a turkey in a microwave, to bring you this bundle of holiday cheer.
Food & Dining Editor Steph March pranked her friend Molly Herrmann of Kitchen in the Market.
