It should not sit out more than two hours either cooked or uncooked. If it is not ready to bake or if it is after dinner, wrap it and put it in the refrigerator as soon as you can.

Remember the two-hour rule -- don't let leftovers sit out on the table or countertop for more than two hours. After the turkey is served, leftover meat should be cut off and placed in shallow, covered containers and refrigerated immediately. Rapid, even cooling will help prevent bacterial growth.
-- Leftovers should be eaten or frozen within three to four days. Gravy and stuffing should be eaten within one to two days. Heat all leftovers to at least 165 degrees F before serving. Bring liquid leftovers, such as gravy, to a rolling boil.

Most experts say it's got to be refrigerated within 2 hours of taking it out of the oven.
In other words, roast it, slice it, eat it, put it away quick :)
If you do let it sit longer than that before it got into the fridge, you need to be SURE to heat it above 180 deg. F when re-heating, or you could get sick. Don't eat it cold if it sat out!
