What if some border skirmish accidentally happens in early 1810 between the French and the Ottoman Empires, and Napoleon decides to go to war over it now that the War of the Fifth Coalition is over?

What would the result be?

Would Napoleon likely seize Istanbul in a short period? Would Russia feel emboldened and take more territory from the Ottomans? Would Britain land an army to try to support the Ottomans? Does this result in no Ottoman rule in Europe anymore, and possibly the end of the empire?
