I think it takes a year for a turkey to fully defrost in the fridge.
You certainly have to start the Thanksgiving turkey on Labor Day; the
Christmas turkey no later than Thanksgiving Day.

I defrost turkeys in a Rubbermail basin on top of my little chest
freezer. I usually buy birds that are 12lb to 14lb and it takes two
days to thaw them out.

You can also buy legs and thighs and wings separately, as you would
buy necks. I'm not keen on wings--they are no more meaty than
chicken wings are--but legs and thighs are good choices.

Also, it's generally possible to have the meat guys slice frozen
turkeys, often they'll even quarter the birds. After the parts have
been wrapped separately, you can feed the bird quarter by quarter.
