I've actually had the power go out while I was cooking about five pounds of chicken in the oven, so I understand your problem all too well. Luckily for me, the chicken was fairly far along in the cooking process, so I left it in the oven with the door closed for a while, and let the residual heat in the oven and in the meat finish the cooking process. (Don't open the oven door if there's a chance the meat will finish cooking on its own, you'll release a lot of heat you can't get back.) Then once things had cooled down, I took the chicken off the bone, left it to cool, then put it away in the refrigerator.
If the chicken hadn't been close to finished cooking, and was undercooked, I would have then opened the door, removed the meat from the pan, and let it cool down as quickly as possible. You don't want to put warm food in the refrigerator normally, you really don't want to do it if you don't know how long the power will be out. And you only want to open the refrigerator door once given that the power is out. So make sure the food is cool before putting it back in the refrigerator so you don't warm up the inside of the refrigerator.
Assuming the power is back on the next day, remove the meat from the refrigerator, and if necessary, warm it up to room temperature before resuming cooking. At that point, you have to realize the turkey might be cooked before it reaches the usual temperature that indicates doneness, because of the prior cooking, so you need to check it more often. If the power doesn't come on by the next afternoon, I would check the refrigerator's interior temperature, and start thinking about what you have to throw out, including the turkey.
