Depends on the size of the turkey but yes, plain cold water. I have no
idea why he thinks he can't quick defrost it. No need at all to add
salt to water to defrost a turkey even if it wasn't prebrined or
injected. Clean, plain water. In a big tub, in a clean sink. It won't
be thawed in a couple of hours, though, unless it's a pretty small turkey.
