Storing Leftovers
Cut the turkey into small pieces; refrigerate stuffing and turkey separately in shallow containers within 2 hours of cooking. Use leftover turkey and stuffing within 3-4 days; gravy within 1-2 days; or freeze these foods. Reheat thoroughly to a temperature of 165 °F or until hot and steaming.
I am all about food safety and I seriously would not want to see anyone get sick...

Its safe to store cooked , cold turkey in the fridge for up to 3 days. Cool quickly after cooking by transferring to a cold plate and putting it in an unheated room or in the garage. When cold, wrap any leftover meat in foil or plastic film and put it in the fridge.

Hmmm Should be ok for about a week... as long as it's kept sealed / covered in a fridge.

Iv worked in a comercial kitchen and the fresh meat had to always be thrown after three days but your probably alright for about four.

i think that you can keep it for three days as long as you cooled it slowly before putting it in the fridge

If you are careful about putting it back in the refrigerator, a week or two. Most people get sick of turkey before it goes bad.
