Peter I brine our turkey in a cooler without ever needing to put the bird in the fridge. I put the cooled brine in the cooler, the bird and then cover the bird with ice ... I always fill a couple or three quart size zip lock bags with ice and place them on top of the bird so the bird stays submerged in the brine, otherwise it will float.

This isn't mine but here's a pic from the web to give you an idea.
