Not necessarily at room temperature, but it shouldn't be frozen. It should be pretty much thawed out.

How long do you cook a frozen seasoned turkey in the bag?

How long can a turkey be unrefrigerated before it is unsafe?

The danger zone for any food is four to sixty degrees. It can stay in this zone for up to four hours, after that spoilage will begin and bacteria begins to grow. After two hours your turkey should still be ok to cook, just be sure to cook it to al full 180 degrees. Check for this temperature with a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the thigh.

Can you cook the turkey the day before and reheat it without it drying out?

Yes, you can carve a cooked turkey the night before. My church does a migrant worker dinner for Thanksgiving, and the turkeys have to be carved the night before or there's no keeping up with the guests. (There's also not enough room for a bunch of people to be wielding sharp pointy objects at the same time.) Just refrigerate your slices as soon as possible and reheat the next day.

Hi guys just watching MasterChef and George said fish should be at room temperature before cooking any ideas as to why?

Fish, meat, and poultry cook more evenly if it reaches room temperature before cooking. If it's still cold, the outside heats up quickly but the center is still cool. You can end up with a dry exterior to cook the protein long enough to get the center cooked properly. If it starts out room temperature, the center heats up closer to the same time the outside cooks.
