Narrative:
I was training on the sector and released aircraft X. We were just finishing up a runway swap and I only climbed him to 5000 ft instead of 7000 ft which I can do with look and go procedures. I stopped his turn at heading 070 instead of letting him roll out to a 120 heading to try and get him more on course. Because it was a military jet they rolled out very wide and fast which brought them closer to the terrain sooner. I saw he was heading at the 6200 ft MVA and asked if he could maintain his own terrain and obstruction clearance through 6200 ft before he entered the higher MVA; which he could; so I climbed him to 11000 ft and shipped him to the departure controller. Had I just used my look and go procedures normally this wouldn't have occurred or I could have just let them roll all the way out to the 120 heading on departure.
