Judy Bird Technique for bone-in breast?

The Judy Bird has been my go-to turkey recipe for the last 5 Thanksgivings - but, this year, we're downgrading from a 12 lb bird to just a 7 lb bone-in breast. Has anyone tried this method with just a breast? Any advice for adapting the recipe?

The technique will work fine on a turkey breast. Reduce the amount of salt and herbs based on the weight of the breast. If you scroll down the comments on the recipe you'll see replies from people who have tried it successfully. Happy Thanksgiving!
