I have too much to do and not enough time. Can I cook a turkey half way at home, then travel 2 hours and finish cooking it?

Can I partially cook a turkey then finish cooking it a few hours later?
I have a prime rib that is 10 3/4 pound with 5 or 6 ribs. What I’m trying to figure out is cooking at 280 degrees and to be done at 120 degrees how many hours will it take.
I am useing a digital thermometer

Those kinds of things will not deal with time, but the JUST the temperature. I recommend just getting a meat thermometer from BedBath and Beyond, Walmart, or some cooking supplier.
And besides, 120 is not enough to kill all the bacteria if there is any. I think 135 is the right temperature to kill all the germs.
But it just comes down to using an internal thermometer. Sorry that there isn’t a time.

Cooking a Prime Rib at 280 degrees for inside temp 120. How long will it take to cook?
I cook my fully thawed turkeys with dressing in it at 450 °F sealed in aluminum foil. I throw away the timer and I don’t open it at all until it’s done. I’m trying to develop a simple chart with a sliding scale so can take the turkey weight and cross reference it with the cooking time when I bake it. I usually bake a 20 pounder for 3 1/2 hours and it comes out perfect. I did a 17 pounder once at about 3:06 and it came out perfect. However when I did a 24 pounder at 4 hours (my straight line estimate) that wasn’t enough. So maybe a curve would be better than a straight line. However I really don’t know. If you have worked out perfect cooking times for various weights of turkey with dressing in it I’d like your input. It doesn’t bother me what temperature you do yours (350 °F or whatever) as long as you have worked out the perfect time for cooking all your various turkey weights while cooking in a similar manner to the way I do. It would give me useful information that I could work with.

According to Wegmans.com:
Start the bird at 450 degrees for 15 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350 and continue to roast for about 15 min/lb until turkey internal temp is 165 degrees.
Stuffed turkeys: Increase cook time by 15-20 min; stuffing must reach 165 degrees too.
