I have a 24 pound turkey frozen. when should i take it out to defrost it for thursday morning?

I have a 24lb turkey also. Take it out now!! I usually put a bath towel around mine and thaw it in the refrigerator. DO NOT LEAVE IT OUT TO THAW! I always take mine out of the freezer a week early. Since, you really don't have much time, you can put it in your sink with cold water for a little while, not too long. Maybe an hour or two, then put it in the refrigerator wrapped up in a towel and leave until Thursday morning. It should be fine. .
