Four hours maximum. All foods begin to spoil after being at room temperature for longer than that. The danger zone for food is 4 to 60 degrees and should not be used after it has been in that range for longer than four hours.

Ground turkey is pretty sensitive and should be teeming with bacteria. It should not be unrefrigerated at all - just for the length of time it takes to prep for cooking.
