Yes, many of the companies that sell turkeys put cooking directions on the packaging and you will find both "from frozen" and "thawed" instructions on them.

I bought butterball turkey today Nov 19th and it was completely thawed. Can I refreeze it? Or can I keep it in the refrigerator until Thursday, which is 5 days from now. I don`t know how long it was thawed before I bought it.
Once frozen, meat should not be refrozen without being cooked first. So if you have thawed 2 pounds of ground beef and then you bake a meatloaf with it, then you can re-freeze the meatloaf. But don't re-freeze the raw hamburger.
It isn't generally safe to refreeze raw food. This is especially true for chicken, which is contaminated with salmonella at scary-high rates. If the chicken has thawed, it isn't generally safe to refreeze it and eat it later. This is especially true if it is thawed in room-temperature water rather than being thawed in the refrigerator. Once thawed, the chicken should be cooked fairly quickly. Once cooked, it can then be frozen for later consumption.
Ideally this should be cooked within a few days of being thawed or purchased.
yes - but it might be a little dry
Turkey can be left out for a little bit after its done. However, it should have liquid injected into it, so it does not dry.
Yes, frozen cooked shrimp is ready to eat without further cooking as it has already been cooked before being frozen.
Stuffing out of the bird is better--it doesn't soak up the fat from the turkey as it is roasting. Also, if it is baked separately in a casserole you have a better chance of it being properly cooked through. If done in the turkey, there is the chance it will not be thoroughly cooked.
Breast milk is good for 24 hours after being thawed in the refrigerator.
!) Take the meat out of it's packaging 2) place into a sizable dish and cover 3) put in microwave for 10 minutes, wait every 30 seconds or so and take it out from the microwave 4) uncover and removed thawed meat from frozen block, cover and place back into the microwave and repeat step 3 and so on. TIP: if BBQ available, you can wrap the meat in Aluminum foil and place on the top shelf turn after about 5 minutes, repeat. and judge with some sort of poking device... once fully thawed, remove from BBQ and continue with your meal.
No, prosciutto is not cooked before being served. It is a type of dry-cured ham that is thinly sliced and enjoyed without cooking.
I'm not sure but maybe about 3 degrees ?
