NO! Do not do that. Never refreeze any poultry. Once it thaws, it will pick up bacteria. I know there will be some that disagree with this, and say you can do it if handled properly, but personally I would never do it. If incorrect, I would rather err on the side of caution.

Thawed chopped turkey meat should be cooked or refrigerated within 1 to 2 days after thawing. If left at room temperature, it should not be left out for more than 2 hours to prevent bacterial growth. Always ensure it is stored properly in the refrigerator at or below 40°F (4°C) if not cooked immediately.
It's best to brine a thawed turkey rather than a frozen one. Brining requires the turkey to be fully thawed so that the salt and flavors can penetrate the meat effectively. If you brine a frozen turkey, the brine won't be able to reach the meat properly, resulting in uneven seasoning. Always ensure the turkey is completely thawed before beginning the brining process.
