You should put it in your refrigerator a week before to thaw. Never cook a frozen turkey, it can cause buring and an awful taste.
Food which has been cooked can be frozen, even if it was frozen prior to cooking. BUT Frozen food which has been thawed, but not cooked, should never be re-frozen. Nor should food which was cooked, frozen and thawed.
Yes, you can safely freeze ham after it has been cooked. After thawing the same frozen cooked ham, it is unsafe to freeze it again.
yes you can unfreeze frozen food that has been already cooked and eat it
Yes, frozen cooked shrimp is ready to eat without further cooking as it has already been cooked before being frozen.

A raw turkey should keep for a year in the freezer. If it is cooked, figure on a month.(To answer the Discussion) Cooked turkey will last 3-4 days in the fridge. For best flavor after cooking a turkey, remove the leftover meat from the bones. The bones develop off-flavors rather quickly, so boil them ASAP to make broth. For soup, you can then separate any meat from the bones and add extra meat that you cut off earlier.A frozen, uncooked turkey, can be kept in the freezer up to 8 months. If the turkey has been cooked, the recommended freezer life is 4-6 months. Be sure the turkey is well wrapped so as not to get freezer burn, which will decrease the flavor and vitamin quality.
No, it is not safe to refreeze cooked chicken that has already been frozen once. Once cooked chicken has been thawed, it should be consumed within a few days and not refrozen to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.
Toss it out..Turkey spoils quickly..Don't eat it!
You can but it will not taste as good as the first thing unless it is strawberries or a cooked vegetable like corn or broccoli
The point to actual spoilage is uncertain and will depend on a number of variables, including whether or not it is cooked, the bacterial load to begin with, how it has been handled, the temperature at which it is stored (there are hot and cold spots in the fridge) and how it is packaged. Raw turkey should be cooked within a couple days of thawing from frozen. If it is purchased fresh, use within a couple days or follow label guidelines. Cooked turkey could last up to 4 days.
For best taste, eat your commercially frozen turkey within 6 months. It will be safe to eat for much longer than that since pathogenic bacteria will not grow at proper freezer temperatures - although it may not be as tender and juicy. And this is assuming it has never been defrosted. The quality will also depend on how well the food has been wrapped. Chemical changes - such as rancidity - can also occur over time in the freezer, making the meat inedible. So the turkey could keep well for longer than 6 months or even a year, but there is no point to hanging onto it that long. Alternatively, look on the plastic bag the turkey came in and it will tell you.
