Answer 1

15min per lb unstuffed at 325, 450 for the first 30min.
Stuff the cavity with halved onions, oranges, fresh sage,thyme, rosemary, S&P

Answer 2

I had made this recipe maybe you can use it on a whole turkey. It tastes real good and is easy.
Juicy Crockpot Turkey Breast Recipe #188444

You might never make turkey breast any other way but this, this creates the most flavorful juiciest turkey breast you will ever have! do not be tempted to add in water or broth, the slow-cooking will create juice. This can also be done using a whole chicken. If you have time rub soup ingredients on and underneath the skin of the breast, wrap in foil and refrigerate for 24 hours. To cook 2 breasts just double the recipe. Do not add in any extra salt.
by KITTENCAL
6 servings time to make 1⁄2 day 10 min prep
1 (6-7 lb) turkey breast (do not remove the skin on top of the breast!)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (can use less)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
1 (1 ounce) envelope of lipton's dry onion soup mix

1. Rince the breast under cold water, then pat dry using paper towel.
2. Lightly rub vegetable oil all over the turkey breast.
3. In a small bowl mix together the onion soup mix with garlic and black pepper, then rub all over the breast and underneath the skin (at this point you can cover tightly and refrigerate for 24 hours).
4. Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 hour.
5. Reduce the heat to LOW and cook for about 7 hours (7 hours is for a 6-pound breast, for a larger breast increase the cooking time slightly).

Answer 3

1hour per 4 pounds... so if it's stuffed, then it's about 2 hours. Flavoring would be to cook it on it's chest. then let it rest for 20 minutes after taking out of the oven so it reabsorbs the juices.
My husband loves it that way.

Answer 4

if it is fully defrosted it should take about 2 hours. and you should salt it add a little water in the bottom before you cook it.drap the tin foil over it, you can also put it in a roasting bag with celery and onions, seasoning salt is nice for the turkey.

Answer 5

my secret is that instead of stuffing the turkey with the bread dressing/stuffing i peel a whole onion and put one in each end of the bird so all the onion flavoring goes throughout it,and rub butter all over it then i season it with seasoning salt, pepper, and kumin

I, myself like to stuff real butter under the skin on the breast of the turkey...yummy! It drips down during cooking and gives good flavor to the bird and the gravy...
