Unsafe... that's not much different from leaving it to defrost on the kitchen
counter.

The whole idea of thawing in the fridge is so the exterior is not exposed to
room temperature... you have two fridges, I don't believe you can't find a spot
for one turkey... the box wine doesn't have to be in there.

Both your ideas are bad.

Either defrost *slowly* in the fridge (cook within 24 hours), or defrost
*quickly* by the cold water bath method (cook immediately).
