Yes, immediately after mixing, if possible. Like all foods, exposure to room temperature should be as brief as possible. It should keep for several weeks, but be aware that the freezing will affect the texture of some of the ingredients, especially eggs and celery.

Generally speaking, it's not a good idea. Freeze the meat, and make more salad later.

Turkey can be frozen both before and after cooking. To freeze before cooking, leave it sealed in the wrapper it came in and just stick it in the freezer. However, many turkeys are frozen before you buy them, and you need to get it home and in the freezer as quickly as possible.

To thaw a frozen turkey before cooking, remove it from the freezer about three days before you want to cook it and thaw it in the refrigerator.

To freeze cooked turkey, you should remove it from the bone (carcass) within about two hours after cooking. Freeze in sealed freezer containers or freezer bags.

TIP: Don't throw away your turkey carcass. Place in a large pan of water and boil for about 45 minutes. Cool the turkey broth and freeze in sealed freezer containers for later use in soups, stews, etc. This makes a very rich and delicious broth!

Can salad be frozen?

Frozen Fruit Salad - cooks.com/recipe/hf7kr2xt/frozen-fruit-salad.html Not with any real success - ice crystals form in the fresh vegetables, damaging their tissues and destroying the flavour and texture. Even prepared salads such as coleslaw, potato salad, Waldorf salad etc. are vulnerable to this - it's best to just chill a salad in the fridge rather than actually freeze it, but if you have good refrigerator (rangestoreoutlet.com/3-refrigerators) you can try to freeze your salad and maybe it, at least, won't loose it's taste. Obviously salad can be frozen, just pop it in the freezer and wait.
