I deboned a Turkey breast and trussed it. It weighs 8 lbs deboned and trussed. Circumference is somewhere arounf 6 inches, skin still intact. I plan to deep fry in a XL turkey fryer. Having a hard time finding a time for just a turkey breast this large. The better part of my judgment is telling me don't count this as a 8 lb whole turkey. Any help would save my thanksgiving dinner.

By the way this Turkey was a Monster at almost 23 lbs before i removed the breast.

Just to set an example. its 15 min per pound for whole Turkeys. And that works great for whole turkeys. But going by that rule, i am looking at a fully submerged turkey breasts for 2 hours. I am getting a red flag, that's going to be shoe leather

 

Found some info that suggests 7 min per pound for bone in turkey breast. I removed the bone, but since its trussed, i think that time is accurate. 

 

So i am thinking 56 minutes vs 2 hours is about right. Anyone want to chime in  please do.
