The skin may get dark while the interior is still cold. Some ways to tell when the turkey is done: 1. the meat is beginning to pull back from the ends of the drumsticks. 2. The legs are easy to move around 3. When pierced, the juices run clear. I would protect the skin with the foil until you're pretty sure it's close to done. Then remove the foil and brown the skin with melted butter, salt and pepper. Try not to keep peeking into the oven. That’s hard, you started with a frozen bird?

The inside of the turkey needs to be washed and cleaned, you never cook it frozen, sorry, you are also in danger of contracting salmonella because when you cook chicken or turkey at low temperature you can get sick.
