They are called holders or racks.
Here is a link to one on Amazon.

Do a google search for a rack called "turkey cannon".  Same premise as the beer can chicken but designed to handle a turkey.

is there a tower that the turkey sits down on that looks something like one of them fireworks that sit on the square base and about 2 to 3 inch around and about 6 inches high and you can fill the canister as the cooking process is going on

Quotes there a tower that the turkey sits down on that looks something like one of them fireworks that sit on the square base and about 2 to 3 inch around and about 6 inches high and you can fill the canister as the cooking process is going on

Yes, I've seen something like that at various cooking stores.

BYS,
Don't know where you're located but I was in our local Gander Mountain store yesterday. They had the turkey cannon and other turkey cooking racks.
