If it has been kept below 40°F, it should be OK.
Cook it as soon as possible - do not wait too long.
omg no way
The Medical College of the University of Wisconsin says a fresh turkey can be kept, uncooked, in your refrigerator for no more than 2 days.
Unless you want to go to the hospital and get your stomach pumped I would not advise that...

I bought butterball turkey today Nov 19th and it was completely thawed. Can I refreeze it? Or can I keep it in the refrigerator until Thursday, which is 5 days from now. I don`t know how long it was thawed before I bought it.
That's pushing it. Give the turkey the sniff test. If it doesn't smell good, don't use it.
The refrigerator is exactly where you should keep meat that is thawing and meat that has thawed - that is until you cook it. Use it within a few days of thawing.
How long it will last will depend upon how good it was when frozen and how it was thawed. If it was thawed at room temperature, it should be cooked immediately. If it wasn't fresh when frozen, it should be cooked immediately. If it was very fresh when frozen and was thawed in the fridge, then you should have at least a couple days to cook it.
You can tell if thawed out chicken has gone bad if it has a bad odor. Chicken that is bad a very distinct and spoiled smell to it.
