general rule is 1 hour for every 4 pounds, defrost it and it should take about 2 and a half hours.

Thanksgiving Turkey and Gravy: 1 12- to 14-pound fresh turkey 1 yellow onion, peeled and quartered 2 celery ribs, each cut into 3-inch pieces 1 carrot, cut into 3-inch pieces 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), melted 1 tablespoon kosher salt 1/2 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons flour 1/3 cup white wine 1 14 ½-ounce can chicken broth Preheat oven to 400° F. Rinse the turkey and pat dry. Strew the roasting pan with the vegetables. Place the turkey on a rack in the vegetable-lined pan. Brush the turkey with half the melted butter. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper, and stuff the turkey. Roast at 400° F for 30 minutes. Baste with the remaining butter and any juices that have collected. Decrease oven to 325° F and roast for about 3 ½ hours more or until a thermometer reads 180° F when inserted in the thigh. Transfer the turkey to a carving board, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 20 minutes. Strain the pan juices into a saucepan, discarding the solids. Skim off the fat, reserving 2 tablespoons. In a large skillet, over medium-low heat, blend the reserved fat with the flour, whisking constantly until the flour turns golden. Whisk in the wine and pan juices, cooking until slightly thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Slowly thin with the broth. Yield: Makes 8 to 10 servings

You would do well to go to the store and get rock cornish game hens that are similar, and you can defrost them and cook them in that time, or else you must postpone serving dinner, and have snacks or a first course or two.
Those are possible choices.
The turkey is not.
If you do the turkey, defrost in slightly warm water, not hot, keep water warm.

I would take it out of the wrapper and put it in the sink filled with cold water for about 1 1/2 -2 hours. Check it every 30 minutes. When there's no more ice in the cavity and the breast is soft, it should be cool. It should only take about 2-2 1/2 hours to cook it.

Yo're cooked. Even with such a small turkey. Try running under cold water untill thawed, cook @ 350, but cooking it should take about 21/2-3 hours. I'm not sure about micro wave, try it still 25-35 mins.

yech!! Microwaved turkey??? How big is your microwave??
Sounds like a pizza and beer thanksgiving to me!!
Never cut corners with poultry...I am sure your dinner guests would prefer a non-traditional dinner than food poisining. Have you ever had food poisoning from undercooked poultry??? TRUST ME.

also if it does defrost, & you are able to bake it, do not stuff the bird. It will take longer
