Submerge the turkey in water and measure how much water is displaced.

The conversion factpr is 1 pint of water is one pound.

Close enough that it wouldn't matter.

That's one of those "solutions" that's technically correct (well it isn't, the densities aren't the same, but it's an estimate), but would almost be bound to be more trouble than it's worth, and leave your kitchen half submerged

You never heard of a bathtub?

Ewwww. Seriously, ewwwww
