You can boot the Mac in clamshell mode. Connect it to power, attach an external display (can be a TV, you may need an adapter), and attach an external keyboard and mouse (USB in this case, since it will be hard to pair a new Bluetooth device), boot the Mac (into recovery mode, for this), then immediately close the lid.
