It's just a piece of aluminum foil that covers the breast and then one each for the drum sticks. This allows heat to flow evenly without drying out.
As for the turkey too big issue, just make sure you have a cooler it doesn't HAVE to be frozen, but the brine makes it unthaw faster. However the cold brine serves another purpose as well, so make sure it's cold brined overnight even if it's already unthawed.
I don't have a cooler either, and no way to get one... Will it be a disaster if I skip the brining phase?

You got a sink, just fill it with ice , sea salt and turkey and keep the cats and the dogs outside for the night.
Yes it's a disaster if you skip the brine. The brine changes the pH of the turkey, and causes the juices to stay in the turkey when you cook it.
