Meats are kept better in the freezer. Meats can be kept in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days if raw and 1 to 2 days longer if cooked. Always place cooked meats in an airtight container.

You can keep the turkey for 1-2 weeks maximum. Any time after that and you increase the risk of foodborne illness.

How long can fresh turkey stay in the refrigerator before it starts to spoil?

The point to actual spoilage is uncertain and will depend on a number of variables, including whether or not it is cooked, the bacterial load to begin with, how it has been handled, the temperature at which it is stored (there are hot and cold spots in the fridge) and how it is packaged. Raw turkey should be cooked within a couple days of thawing from frozen. If it is purchased fresh, use within a couple days or follow label guidelines. Cooked turkey could last up to 4 days.
