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.

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)
Is turkey bacon considered bacon?
If you're asking about the fat and sodium level then yes it is. But if you're asking if it tastes better then regular bacon there really is no answer for that. Some people can't handle regular bacon because it has too much fat, sodium, oil, and grease. So with that theory turkey bacon is better. But some people don't like turkey bacon because they think that it's just a cheap ripoff off regular bacon. But some people like both. I have a friend who had never tried turkey bacon. One day she came over and in the morning when we ate it she loved it! All in all it just depends which one you like better. Only YOU can answer that.
My theory is that bacon is way better. Turkey Bacon is terrible!

Can a turkey be wrapped in foil to cook it?
It can, but the turkey will probably not be very tasty. By wrapping the bird in foil, you will end up steaming it instead of roasting it; the latter method, which involves exposing the turkey to the direct heat of the oven, will bring out the most flavor in the meat. Some people put a "tent" of aluminum foil over the bird for the first hour or so of cooking, to prevent the skin from becoming too dark. In addition, you can use foil to line the roasting pan to keep it clean.

Different cooking methods:
- I like to cook it slow and have the day to do other things method -Salt and pepper the inside, put in some stuffing, cover with foil and cook it at 375 F for 1/2 hour, then turn down to 225 and go to sleep. Check it in the morning; if it's pretty much done, the leg will move easily - then take the foil off the top and brown it at about 375 and call it good. Of course, I've always cooked 20-25 lb turkeys, but they are moist and tasty that way. Above all, make sure you use a meat thermometer to ensure your turkey is thoroughly cooked through to 170 degrees.
- The best way is to figure approximately 15-18 minutes per pound AND use a thermometer. Either an oven safe one in thickest part of thigh that stays in the bird while cooking or an instant read and check the temp occasionally, again in thickest part of thigh.
- Start approx. 3/4 of the way through cooking and remove from oven when thermometer reads 160' F. Tent lightly with foil and let rest a minimum of 20 minutes. It will continue to cook after removal from oven and reach the desired 170'.

10 to 12 lb Un Stuffed Turkey 3 - 3 ¼ hrs
10 to 12 lb Stuffed Turkey 3 ½ - 3 ¾ hrs
Turkey is fully cooked and safe to eat when the meat thermometer reads 77°C or 170°F for an un-stuffed turkey and 82°C or 180°F for a stuffed turkey.
The length of time may vary depending on the size and whether you have stuffed it (stuffed turkeys take longer), but the important thing is to cook it to an internal temperature of 170 degrees Fahrenheit. You will need a meat thermometer to ascertain this. I suggest getting a thermometer that goes up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, so you can use the thermometer for both meat cooking and candy making. Insert the thermometer into the meat in a way that it does not hit the bone. Don't leave the thermometer in the whole time the turkey is cooking; insert it when you think it's getting close.
A good rule of thumb is 20 minutes per pound at 375 F, but temperature testing is still imperative.

Depends on the fridge temp. Reheat it to a boil every 4 days to kill the germs and you can keep it going for weeks.
Do not plan to keep turkey soup for weeks in the fridge. If you are not going to use it up within 2 or 3 days, freeze it. In the fridge, flavors can change and rancidity can set in faster than if it is frozen. Constant temperature fluctuations do not improve the food's quality. In fact, for quality reasons, the general recommendation is to reheat food only once.
