How long should I plan to cook a 3.5 pound bone-in turkey breast at 8,000 ft. above sea level?

I've already read that I need to go by the internal temperature of the meat to determine if its ready (consensus seems to be 165F - 170F) and that the oven temp should be between 325F - 350F.

However, for planning purposes, about how long will it take to cook the 3.5 pound bone-in Turkey breast, when I am at 8,500 feet above sea level.

Thanks!

    They are all idiots! I, too, live at 8,000 ft. I am trying to get a ball-park time for roasting an entire turkey, with no results. Even the Colorado State University Extension service was no help. I've wasted more than an hour on the internet. Maybe I should just start calling friends up here (Conifer, CO) who are good cooks! Good luck!
