place it in cold water and change it every half hour

Put it in the kitchen sink and run small amounts of cold water on it. Rotate it every so once in awhile. [Warning: They say this isn't the safest way to do it. However, I've done it for years and no one has ever gotten sick.]
Of course, if you can fit it in the microwave and it has a minimum of metal, just thaw it there. Other than leaving it in your fridge (which I finally did this year!), this is the safest way to do this. The only drawback is that it will start cooking parts of the bird toward the end due to the turkey not being a square...

Don't put it in warm water!!!! You'll run the risk of getting sick. Depending on the size of the turkey??? 2 to 3 days for a 12 to 14 pounder. So put it in the fridge now. Check on it Wednesday evening. If it is still pretty frozen in the center. Get up early thursday morning-clean your sink out and run cold water over it. You don't ever want raw poultry to be above 41 degrees or run the chance of bacteria.

Depends on the pound size, best way is to thaw is in the fridge but since turkey day is so close if your bird is large there may not be enough time. I'd suggest in a sink full of tepid water then.

The easiest and best way is to slowly thaw your turkey in the refrigerator, but this could take days. Find out how to safely thaw your turkey to avoid any potential food poisoning.

Boil it slowly in a large cauldron just enough to thaw it , not cook it. After thawing pat dry and marinate it according to your recipe in a large plastic bag overnight in the refrigerator ,roast it in the oven at 380 degrees. Happy Thanksgiving , eat the crispy skin on the neck part for me . That"s the best part , forget the cholesterol.

run cool water in the bath tub, not HOT, and give it a bath, change water about every 15 to 30 mins. Good luck
