Yes. Put it in the fridge today, and you'll probably need to put it in the sink with cool water on Thursday morning to finish off the thawing process.

My 22 pounder took 6 days to thaw in the fridge. Put it in the fridge now. You'll need cold water baths, just remember to change the cold water every 30 minutes.
If you're really in a pinch, call the Butterball hotline. I just read an article today about how they talked someone through cooking a frozen turkey. It takes a lot longer, but can be done safely.

Too late for the fridge. I put my 16 pound in the fridge Sunday morning and it's not thawed yet. Put in cool water and keep changing the water until thawed.

Way too late for the fridge. That would take 5 days.
You will need to use the cold water immersion method. Count on about 12 hours for your bird.

you should've put it in the fridge yesterday morning. but not to worry do what the other poster suggested, put it in the fridge now and perhaps have it finish off wed. night by leaving it over nite in the sink filled w/water. it'll be good to go thurs. morning.

I know that Butterball.com also has live people to chat with. I saw it on the news the other day you can call them and they know everything about Turkey.
