We generally thaw about 3/4 of the way in the fridge and then thaw the last 1/4 in brine for 18-24 hours. Works well for us.
I'd guess that a fully frozen bird would take a minimum of 2 days in brine, but don't quote me on that. Never done it.

I had to half thaw a 12 pounder thursday into friday in my brine. in the brine about 18 hours and air dried for another 6 in the fridge. one of the best turkeys to date.

somebody shut me the fark up.
I've never done it straight from frozen, but have had some birds still partially frozen that I have brined. They came out just fine.
