Could Obama try a recess appointment?

Only if McConnell is stupid enough to allow the Senate to go into recess.  I doubt he is.

Yeah, they are going to hold down the fort all the way through January.

Which means they can only delay an appointment until January 3, 2017.

Unless the Democrats win the Presidency and Senate in November 2016, there won't be one second on or before January 3, 2017 when the Senate isn't in session.
