Thawed yes 100%
If you need to thaw it more, place it wrapped in cold water and either change the water every 30 minutes, or leave cold water running. Cold water will defrost things faster than hot or anything else. Roughly will do 1 pound per hour or faster with running water.
As for slow cookers - unless you mean a BBQ, why in the hell would you? You will end up with soggy skin which is just bleh. Also know you did not brine it so it will dry out unless you ad tons of liquid and then your braising a turkey which means well it will be moist but fall apart.
