fair fresh turkey question- will it keep 3-4 days in the fridge, with a dry brine on day 2 or 3?

Greetings and salutations, I purchased a fresh turkey from the local farmer and she wants us to pick up on Monday. I am planning to do a dry brine, but my question is, can it keep in the fridge? I assume the salt in the brine will help, but I would love to hear others' experiences. Thank you!

* Sorry this should read "farm fresh" not "fair". Merci.
