Hi Melinda, hope it's not too late for my answer, which is that the weirdo recipe for turkey I use is from Cook's Magazine, which is an excellent publication, can't recommend it highly enough. Anyway, all the cooking gyrations are to try to get the breast and the thighs done at the same time, as the breast meat is done when the cooking thermometer reads 160, and it cooks faster than the thighs, which are done at 170. Breast down exposes the thighs and protects the breast. After you cook it thigh up at 400, you turn it over and expose the breast, and you turn it down to 250.
So, to make a short story long, I don't know the answer, look on the package the turkey breast came in. I'd guess 325 degrees and 1/2 hour per pound. Here's a recipe I just found on the web, it says 350 degrees.
