Will heating a blade to about 350 degrees effect the strength and composition of the steel? Say I jab my knife into a turkey right after it gets out of an oven and I leave it there, will it start to anneal?

Shouldn't be a problem, especially if it's stainless or a tool steel.
the turkey will not be 350 F the turkey's temp would rise steadaly until it gets to 212 F at wich point it will level off because it takes a ton of energy to evaporate water.
unless of course your one of those people who cook the turkey till it is completely dry, tough and at 350 F totally black
