Nothing major. The meat can keep cooking if it is hot enough, or it can warm the contents of the fridge. Not putting hot meat into a fridge is a holdover from true ice boxes, where the hot meat could melt the ice.


Can you thaw turkey and put back in freezer?

The meat should have been thawed in the fridge. You can put it back in the cooler, but it is possible it will not keep as long as if it had thawed under refrigeration. It might not even keep a week before it will go bad and it will not last as long as frozen meat does. Quick thaws - like microwave and water baths - should be used only if the meat is going to be cooked promptly upon thawing.
