When do you take the foil off of a turkey?

Answer

Many cooks would recommend taking the foil off about 30 to 45 minutes or so just before removing it from the oven. That way the browning can occur (and you can be sure it's not under done). After pulling the foil, check back every 10 minutes or so until the desired "brown-ness" happens. Too soon and the bird dries out. Too late and it has an "under done" look.

Bon appétit!
