I don't like to freeze ground turkey as a rule because I find that the texture changes.

If it doesn't smell or look obviously bad, I'd cook it up with chopped onion and chile peppers, add taco seasoning, and use for burritos. I have frozen meat for more than 6 months and if properly wrapped, it is fine.

I've kept ground beef, turkey, & pork that long at one time or another and it was fine (I have a body sized deep freezer). Personally, I've never had problems with textural changes after freezing.
