Presumably at some point in the past this required you to have had the foresight to acquire a sous-vide cooking system that was large enough to cook a turkey. That doesn’t strike me as the sort of thing one does without putting some thought into it.

Well, first I had to acquire a house so I would have a shipping address that the $100 device could be shipped to.

Sous vide machines are cheap. I've had mine for more than a decade now and use it all the time for the flexibility and ease of getting pretty great results.

If you don't want to buy a dedicated device, you can get buy with a big pot of water on a burner.

If you are a DIY kind of person, you can make one for less than $50.
