I would like to know if foods containing sodium phosphate that can be cooked, will it reduce the food being harmful. More specifically a 10lb turkey that had been cooking in the oven for 7 hours.
That wasn't what I was asking...

even without the sodium phosphate,a 10 pound turkey cooked for 7 hours is a dry disaster.
phosphates occur naturally in many foods.
Sodium phosphates are approved food additive the world over.
What makes you think your dry turkey is harmful?
EDIT: then what EXACTLY are you asking? An over roasted turkey isn't dangerous, just not so good to eat. It was never harmful ever, unless of course it was contaminated with salmonella and you ate it raw...sodium phosphate won't change that.

No worries...a 10 pound turkey that has been cooking for 7 hours is inedible.
