Yes. To ensure turkeys stay fresh in the time between pickup and cooking, we use a process called chilling to keep the birds fresh. A chilled bird is colder than it would be under regular refrigeration, but not so cold that the meat freezes. By chilling the bird, any moisture in the cavity may turn to ice, while the bird itself will stay fresh. Chilling guarantees your bird will stay fresh for the 3-5 day resting period it needs before it is ready for the oven on Thanksgiving.
