How to adjust time for oven stuck at 350F
My oven is stuck at 350F. I need to cook a lasagna that requires 400F for 1:55 (one hour 55 minutes). I also need to cook a turkey at 375F for 4:30 (separately). How do I adjust since my oven is stuck at 350F?
The two means are back to back, not together.

Turkey and lasagna are both fine at 350F (177C). For turkey, here's a guide at 350F.
From AllRecipes:
Take the turkey out to rest when the thickest part of the thigh registers 160F (71C). Carry over will bring it to 165F (74C). (Picture from Fine Cooking)
Your lasagna will be fine too, it just needs to cook a bit longer at 350F. Consider it done when it registers about 160F (71C)
You may get a bit less browning than is ideal. If you can use your broiler for a few minutes, either of your dishes may benefit from that.

If you decide to reduce the cooking temperature from 450\xb0 F to 350\xb0 F, you'll need to adjust the cooking time: multiply the original time of the recipe by 1,14. For example, if the bake time is 25 minutes, you should bake your food for 29 minutes.Why is 350 the standard baking temperature?
The Maillard reaction is known to happen at some point between 300\xb0 and 350\xb0. Because ovens often fluctuate (or are incorrectly calibrated) a setting of 350\xb0 essentially ensures that the browning temperature is reached.

Just increase the oven temp by 25 degrees F and decrease the bake time by a quarter. In this particular example, since your pan is 1 inch larger, more surface area will be exposed. The liquid in the cake batter will evaporate quicker, which means it will bake faster.How to Ignite a Wood-Fired Oven \u0026 Manage the Temperatures

Answer 2
The turkey is going to be quite happy with the slightly lower temp - you will need a bit more time, but I'd guestimate 1/2 hour tops should be ok. This is another occasion to repeat our all important:
Use a thermomenter to determine doneness of your roast, not a timer!
The lasagna shouldn't be a problem either - I'm surprised at the long baking time anyway. Again, perhaps another 1/2 hour should be sufficient, if necessary at all.
Just note that at 350F / 175C your dishes might be browning a little less that you'd expect at 400F / 205C. Consider using the broiler when they are almost done to crisp them up a bit.
