A Center Controller reported they vectored a departing aircraft below the Minimum IFR Altitude.

Pilot narrative

Verbatim, de-identified by NASA. Placeholders: ZZZ, X, Y.

Issued a clearance "as filed" to a King Air that departed ZZZ airport VFR. They were climbing out and would conflict with military airspace in the next sector. I wanted to turn them out to get them started away from the airspace so they could climb above it. I glanced at their position before I issued the turn and thought they were in a 7000 ft. MIA, but it was 7500 ft. Aircraft turned out of 7100 ft. and did not meet the subsequent 8000 ft. MIA. I should have waited for the turn, however due to VFR traffic in the area and the airspace I wanted to start them east as soon as possible. If this sector were terminal controlled the MIA's would be lower and there would be more flexibility in moving aircraft efficiently.
