The rule of thumb, I believe, is a 1/2 hour for every pound, though the larger the turkey, the fewer the minutes per pound.
So then, my guess would be somewhere between 7 & 8 hours at around 350 degrees F. Though, I put mine in the oven at 425 degrees for the first half hour, uncovered and basted with butter, to seal in the juices. Then I turn it down to 350 for the rest of the time.
Good luck! :)

Du bish welshken. (=in case are lost in translation, that's either Pennsylvania Dutch or Schwebish for 'You're welcome.')
