Uhm. Not that it has ever actually happened to me, but I have known for years that it is possible. Uhhh, because a neighbor did this. Yeah – that's it. It was a neighbor.
Best I remember, the innerds came out a little bit at a time, then some stuff like onions and lemon went in as soon as there was room for them. And the turkey came out just fine.

This is just a cooking tip. To cool or thaw something in a hurry, turn a fan on it. I have a small, high- intensity fan that I keep in the pantry just for this purpose. It probably wouldn't thaw a turkey in time, but I used it to thaw a pork roast in a hurry and it worked just fine. I also use it to cool things quickly, especially large pots of soup or chili…it probably cuts the cooling time in half. Just train the fan on the side of the pot and stir the contents from time to time to release the heat, and give the pot a 1/4 turn from time to time so the current of air hits different parts of the pot.

I might try cooking a frozen turkey just to see how it comes out. Maybe we have been going to far much trouble, thawing then cooking the bird. I did once cook one of the ready-to-bake from frozen turkeys that have started to turn up in the grocery store. Normally I wouldn't pay the outrageous price to have them put the turkey in a bag with some seasoning so I just have to bake it bag and all, but the thing was marked down because the outer back was in bad shape and it was cheaper than the plain old turkeys on sale, so I bought it. It did, indeed, cook just fine from frozen. I guess if they can do it and sell it that way, we can do it with our own bird at home.

This does sound interesting. I might have to try it sometime just to see how it does. I remember once when I was growing up and learning to cook I was use to the giblets being in the cavity and they weren't so I figured they were missing. I cooked the bird and when we were ready to eat I found the bag of giblets in the neck skin.
