How long to cook a Turkey Breast per Pound

Roast the turkey for 20 minutes per pound. For my 7 lb turkey breast, the time was 140 minutes (2 hours 20 minutes). For the perfect juicy turkey with crispy skin, soak the turkey breast with pan juice every 20 minutes or so. You can remove the skin before sliced if you want to cut calories.
