HERB TURKEY BREAST

1 tsp. finely chopped garlic

1 tsp. Dijon-style mustard

Fold piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil in half, dull-side out to form 18-inch square.  Place turkey in middle of square; drizzle marinade over.  Fold foil over and seal tightly all around.

 

Prepare grill so coals are medium-hot.  Push coals to two sides of grill; add few more briquettes or charcoal to each side to assure enough coals for full cooking time.
