No, it is not safe to refreeze any meat once it has thawed, however if you cook it you can then freeze it again.
You could refreeze a thawed turkey as long as it was thawed in the fridge and has not started to spoil, but there will be loss in quality when you finally do cook it up. It might be better to cook it without all the fixin's, then remove the meat from the bones and package the meat for freezing.
If by refreeze, you mean to freeze leftovers after cooking a thawed turkey - Yes, you can freeze the leftovers.
