Your turkey may smell like eggs due to sulfur. The smell should disappear quickly once the turkey is rinsed. If it still smells after rinsing, it is likely bad or going bad and you should not eat it.

Turkey no longer smells fresh when it is bad. Vinegary, gassy, ammonia, rotten eggs, sulfurous - anything that doesn't smell right could indicate that it is spoiling. You will have to make that determination.

Yes, if it's been out of the fridge for long enough. Once the smell of spoiled meat was bad enough to keep a friend of mine from selling her car!

My turkey doesn't smell like rotten eggs. But if it did, that would mean it was spoiling.

It is likely spoiling. Might be a good idea to throw it away.
