Not necessarily at room temperature, but it shouldn't be frozen. It should be pretty much thawed out.
Does a turkey need to be defrosted before a brine?
Actually, if you are careful to maintain a temperature below 42 degrees, you can brine a frozen turkey and let it defrost as it brines. The catch is to not allow the brine to warm up or bacteria can form, despite all the salt. I sanitize a cooler, put in the turkey and the cold brine to cover it, then add both ice cubes and frozen cooler packs in ziplocks (the food-safe kind you can freeze and re-freeze to keep things cold in your cooler). The turkey will defrost quickly - as in 24 hours - this way. I like the turkey to sit out of brine in the fridge overnight before roasting so that the skin dries out and crisps better when roasting.
Once vegetables are thawed how long can you wait to cook them?
Normally, frozen vegetables are not thawed first but are cooked from frozen.
Can you brine a store bought smoked turkey?
There's a couple of factors in this answer. Was the turkey ever frozen? if so, it should be cooked within two to three days of thawing, regardless. If the turkey is "fresh" (not frozen) you can get away with an extra day. If in doubt, add more salt, and be sure to change the water daily. And did I say more salt? Add more. Salt acts as a preservative, and it's pretty much impossible to over-salt a turkey.
Should a turkey be thawed at room temperature?
no turkey is a country
