I have stored it in a second refrig in basement. I turned the cold
setting to MAX and placed the bird on the bottom shelf to the back. Oh,
and the bird is in a tightly sealed, plastic bag.

I wouldn't do that. With any turkey I bought from a known and trusted
source - or duck or chicken come to that - I'd hang it in a cold place (not
a fridge) for 3 - 5 days to develop flavour.

I'd never buy a turkey from an unknown source so couldn't advise.
