I'm a college student on her own, so when the delifresh meats go on sale, I buy more than I know I will eat before the expiration date and put the extra packs in the freezer when I get home. I have never had a problem with freezing this meat before its expiration date and eating it up to 6 months after the expiration date, as long as it stayed cold and I used it within 5 days after unfreezing it.
Use your senses. I know it can be difficult with this kind of preserved meat, but if it looks off (discolored, gray, or moldy), smells foul (doesn't smell like how it normally does when you buy it and use it without freezing before the expiration date), or feels/produces slime(y) don't eat it. The turkey I have found seems to be wetter after defrosting than it was before freezing, but that's different than feeling slimy, don't confuse one for the other. A little patting with a paper towel before putting on a sandwich solves the water issue.

What happens if your freezer defrosts?
Unless the food is cut up into pieces before its frozen, its probably best to always defrost it before cooking. This is especially true of meats, and particularly chicken. If you try to cook a frozen chicken breast for example, without defrosting, you may well end up with a cooked outside and a completely raw inside of the breast. (This is dangerous because of potential salmonella poisoning.)
How long can uncooked turkey?
I assume you mean how long can it last. Well the expiration dates on them suggest a month, but frozen and still sealed I'd say a couple of months. but remember to take it out 2-3 days before cooking frozen turkeys take a while to thaw
