Slight turkey emergency. A while ago, I had placed a dial thermometer in the back of the oven and it reads over 400. Oven is set to 325. My thermopro continuous probe is out of whack or I’d place it in the oven. (I have a separate instant read one that works, for the turkey.) Turkey has been in about an hour and a half. Suddenly browning super crispy on leg (all that butter!), so I tented it per the recipe instructions. But, now I need to alter due to high oven temp. I turned it off to let it come down. Help, what do I do? I haven’t checked the turkey’s temp yet because that would seem too soon. Put it down to 250 until cooked?

Good news, breast temp is only at 140. I want it to cook for another hour and a half…

With oven temp set at 250, the thermometer I had added in the back of the oven says 300. It’s sitting on the floor of the oven, if that matters.
