Frozen turkey should not be left at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Bacteria can grow rapidly in the temperature danger zone of 40°F to 140°F. To ensure food safety, it's best to thaw turkey in the refrigerator, in cold water, or in the microwave, rather than leaving it out at room temperature.

Ensure that it's chilled so that the outer portion does not get warm.
