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

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