Cooking turkey breast for Thanksgiving...?

This is my first Thanksgiving away from my extended family, and so I'm cooking for my hubby and kids. I have a 6 pound turkey breast and no clue how to cook it! Any tips??

Update:

Bake a 6 lb turkey breast for 45 minutes?! That seems waaaay too short... I know that it needs to get to 170F.

    I put mine in a slow cooker,season it first and put butter under the skin, pour a little wine or water in the bottom of the crock pot..about 4 cups..I also add Lipton soup mix..cover let cook over night on low...the house will smell like heaven in a turkey..or let it cook for about four hours on med..the meat will fall off the bone...

    If your cooking a boneless turkey breast then it has to be an hour.

    If your cooking a bone in turkey breast then it has to be an hour and 45 minutes at 375 degrees covered with a tin foil.

    Be sure to use a meat thermometer to check to see if it's ready or not.

    Also season the turkey with ground red, green, white, and black peppercorn.

    place butter and seasonings all over it then put it in a preheated oven of 350 degees for about 2 hours or until meat thermoneter reaches 180 degrees when inserted in center of turkey .keep putting butter on it often so tat it doesn't dry out on you.
