ANY food held in the danger zone of 41 to 140 degrees is subject to bacterial contamination. The longer it sits at these temps, the more subject it becomes.

Strip the meat off your smoked turkey as soon as it's cool enough to be handled. Put what you will use in a day or two, in a Tupperware container and refrigerate. Put the rest in ZipLock bags and freeze.

This from www.innvista.com

Meat held at room temperature often invites bacteria from the family Enterobacteriaceae. This also happens with strains of Staphylococci, micrococci, and aerobic Gram-positive spore-forming bacilli. Refrigeration suppresses these microbes, but can allow the growth of such other organisms as pseudomonas.
