A fully frozen Turkey can take as long as 24 hours to thaw completely out.

When thawing a frozen turkey you should place it in the refrigerator for the 24 hours prior to cooking it because if you leave the frozen turkey out at room temperature to thaw bacteria can grow on the turkey.

So place the turkey from the freezer into the refrigerator to let it thaw for 24 hours before you cook it.
