It takes a lot longer than 15 minutes for a whole turkey to cool. Plus, you'll be covering it with gravy and stuffing, another insulator of heat.

Letting it sit for 15 minutes allow the temperature to evenly disperse throughout the Turkey. It will be hot enough after 15 minutes.

It wont be cold at all 15 minutes after you remove it from the oven. It would take much longer than that for it to get cold.
I have learned from experience that if you dont let it cool just a little bit before you try to slice it, it will fall all apart.

You can leave your turkey for up to an hour.
I cooked one today actually it was done at 3:15. I kept aluminum foil on top and we at it at 4:30. It was still warm and hot by the drumsticks.

It's not cold that gives the juices time to settle.
