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.

If a turkey is defrosted in warm water in a sink it would be lethal to put it back into the fridge. Because the meat is already loosened from the warm environment putting it in a cold environment will tense up the meat and make it have an undesirable taste. My suggestion is to let it cool for two hours then put it back into the fridge.

That's better than leaving it out any more, but you should start the cooking process immediately upon completing the thaw.

You should let it cool first, otherwise the fridge won't handle it very well. But once it is down to a temperature you can touch it at, it should be fine.
