Your question isn't very clear; if you are asking how long you can leave a turkey in the freezer, it's up to 1 year. If you are asking how long you can leave a still frozen (thawing) turkey (that used to be frozen or fresh), it depends on the size of turkey and the temperature in the refrigerator since that will determine how long it will take to thaw (it takes approximately 24hrs for each 5lbs). Once the turkey is thawed (or fresh), According to USDA, uncooked turkey is good for 1-2 days (http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact_Sheets/Turkey_from_Farm_to_Table/index.asp)
