you can go ahead and take it off just watch it and when it gets to the color you prefer just recover with your foil and that will stop the browning and just continue to cook....happy holidays...

Well, some cook it and brown it first then cover it but since you are cooking it already covered, I'd remove the foil now and baste with a combo of melted butter, chicken stock, and Wishtishire sauce to make a nice brown skin; oven temp: At 163°C or 325°F
CHECK for doneness. The internal temperature of thighs should be 82° C or 180°F on a meat thermometer. The thigh and drumstick meat should feel soft when pressed, and when the thigh is pierced with a fork the juices should run clear, not pink.
Remove turkey from oven. Place on cutting board resting in a large cafeteria-style tray with a lip or on a flat aluminum foil tray.
Tent the cooked turkey with foil. Let stand for 15-20 min. This resting time allows the juices to saturate the meat evenly for the most tender turkey.

Remove the foil for the last 20-30 minutes, it all depends on your oven - if you have a glass door just keep taking a peep, if not have a look after 20 minutes.
Don't leave it too long else it will dry out and won't taste so good.
Merry Christmas!

20 mins per pound is 4 hours plus 20 mins so remove the foil at 3 h 20 mins allowing 1 hour to brown

Remove foil for the last 20 mins in a medium to hot oven

I agree with meme, take the foil off now, let them brown to the skin color you like, and re-cover them to finish. Baste them every 10 minutes while uncovered. It will take anywhere between 15 and 45 minutes, depending on how hot your oven is and how brown you like the skin.

Thirty minutes.
To keep your turkey moist, though, push your hand between the skin and flesh to creare a space, then push soft butter inside. It can't slip off the bird then, but sinks into the meat. delicious!
