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.hen 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.
