Actually, if you are careful to maintain a temperature below 42 degrees, you can brine a frozen turkey and let it defrost as it brines. The catch is to not allow the brine to warm up or bacteria can form, despite all the salt. I sanitize a cooler, put in the turkey and the cold brine to cover it, then add both ice cubes and frozen cooler packs in ziplocks (the food-safe kind you can freeze and re-freeze to keep things cold in your cooler). The turkey will defrost quickly - as in 24 hours - this way. I like the turkey to sit out of brine in the fridge overnight before roasting so that the skin dries out and crisps better when roasting.

No, you do not need to rinse a turkey after brining. Rinsing can actually lead to cross-contamination in your kitchen, as bacteria from the raw turkey can spread to other surfaces. Instead, simply remove the turkey from the brine, pat it dry with paper towels, and proceed with your cooking method.
