Grilled Honey Dijon Turkey Breast

If you love turkey and don't want to wait for Thanksgiving to have it, then this is the perfect recipe for you. The brining process really helps to enhance the flavor and the tenderness of the meat. This dish can be served with diced tomatoes or fruit salsa.

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 boneless, skinless turkey breast, cut in half
• 1/4 cup kosher salt
• 1/4 cup sugar
