NO! Not at room temperature. To do so is to risk food poisoning as the exterior warms to room temperature while the inside is still frozen.

To safely thaw a turkey you may thaw it in the fridge (this can take a few days), submerge it in cold water in a sink, or slowly run cold water over it for an extended period. Ensure that it's chilled so that the outer portion does not get warm.
