Shit. Well according to ATK you can do the fast dethaw method with submerged water but its 30 min/lbs total and you need to change the water every half hour to prevent bacteria growth

But Adam Ragusea's solution is to leave the bird in a pot full of cold water under a slowly running faucet for the duration to constant exchange the water without having to manually check it (water bill be damned for two days).

Also the cooking it from frozen method here is viable:

Sometimes when I'm really lonely, I call the butterball hotline and feign a turkey crisis. They talk me through my panic and it makes me feel much better. Also, they get to feel like they really saved someone's holiday.
