Picked up a fresh Misty Knoll turkey on Sat Nov.23. Is it okay to wait to cook on Thanksgiving? Thought it would have been frozen.

Hi Molly, I am actually experiencing the exact same dilemma. I picked up a raw turkey on Saturday, and I am planning on cooking it Thursday. I spoke to a few people, all of whom made me feel like this is fine to do. I rubbed my turkey in a dry brine yesterday, and I will leave it uncovered in the fridge overnight on Wednesday (a version of this recipe - https://food52.com/recipes/15069-russ-parsons-dry-brined-turkey-a-k-a-the-judy-bird)
