Appreciate any help. Have a turkey that's been on 3.5 hrs at 275. Tried checking temp in breast and thigh. I readjusted probe in thigh because Was reading 165+ and didn't see how this could be accurate. Reprobed a cpl times and now for the past 40 min has read under 160 despite the other thigh being 167. Would loss of juice from overprobing reduce temp this drastically. I'm just worried about the breasts drying out but have them wrapped. Here's a shot from an hour ago. Appreciate any help.
 
Don't worry about the thighs, they will be juicy at 180 or above.

It's the breast you have to worry about. I pull mine at 157 and rest on the counter for 1/2 Hour.

The carryover cooking will get it to 165 & it will be tender & juicy.

Good luck!
