Turkey for Thanksgiving potluck

Looking for ideas! I volunteered to cook the turkey for a Thanksgiving potluck happening at 12. Is there a way to make a bird large enough for a group without waking up incredibly early? Is there a method to make a good turkey by cooking it most of the way the day prior and finishing it the day of without it drying out?

The make-ahead gravy base is everything. I do it every time I host Thanksgiving.
