Roast the turkey: The rule of thumb for cooking a turkey is 13 minutes per pound. So our 16-pound turkey was estimated to cook in about 3 1/2 hours. However, some factors like brining the bird, cooking with an empty (un-stuffed) cavity, and leaving the legs un-trussed will contribute to much faster cooking.
Calculate the cooking time. The larger your turkey breast, the longer it will take to cook. When roasted at 325 Â°F (163 Â°C), turkey breast requires approximately 25 minutes cooking time per pound. 1  For a smaller four to six pound turkey breast, set aside between 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 hours.2  If you're cooking at an altitude of 5,000 or more feet, you'll need to add five to ten extra minutes' cooking time per pound.oneless turkey breast can be bought fresh or frozen by the pound. Turkey breasts are much larger than chicken breasts, so you'll want to factor that in when you decide how much to buy. A serving size of turkey breast comes out to 1/4 to 1/2 pound per person.
