OK. If your ambient temp is 36 F then your salt level isn't really an
issue. Your turkey won't spoil overnight even with zero salt.

What I want to know is, where in California do you live that your
garage ever goes much below the 50 F point, even at the your coldest
time of the year?

Are you very high in the mountains or something?
