A quick question for those doing a contingency procedure involving a 180 degree turnaround.

The turn radius could be quite large. I think that there can be a risk of infringing on the adjacent track. If doing this procedure for a reason not critical to aircraft systems(perhaps a health issue, etc), any suggestions such as descending down out of RVSM then turning(if fuel is not an issue) or descending only 500 feet initially until no longer a threat to an adjacent track.
