I honestly don't remember my mother ever defrosting a turkey.
She's put it in the oven, low temperature, with water in the
pan and covered. The bird would go in the oven in the wee
hours of the morning and would be fully cooked a bit before
we were ready eat. That insured it had rested before carving.
