I've got this guys fan and wing (he broke his other one in his turkey death thrashing) currently drying on a peg board for future fan mounting.

As this is my first bird ever I really want the thing to last for as long as I'm arround and don't want to screw it up. I've taken all the fat and meat that I could possibly remove and then filled the area with salt also rubbing in salt.
My question is how long should I leave the fan and wing to dry on the board (it currently resides in a warm dry place,) before putting it in the fan mount my dad made for me?
