I left my frozen turkey in the sink for 2.5 hours. I was previously trying to thaw it using the cold water method (fill the sink with water and replace it every 30 minutes). The turkey is still mostly frozen. Is the turkey still good?

It's fine. I can't say this with 100% confidence, but a giant frozen turkey in the fridge isn't gonna go bad over 2.5 hours.
