I have one cured with cure #1,  how much of a window should I have?
 
Can you provide a bit more information?  Even properly cured poultry should still be handled safely.  Curing the turkey allows you to keep it in the smoke beyond the 4 hour rule but does not open the door to prolonged cold smoking in my opinion.  I don't have exact numbers,  maybe Chef Jimmy or DanMcG will have better advice.

injected and soaking in wet cure of salt sugar and 1T of cure #1 per gallon for 4 days.  will go directly from fridge to smoker,  plan on being up to 140 internal temp in around 6 hours
 
 
NOOOOO PROBLEM  Jeff1   I believe you have a bit more flexibility then that but sounds like a great plan.

Good luck and post some Qview of the finished product!

Once it's cured it is just like any cured meat. It does not need to conform to the 4 hour rule.

You will be fine.
