Turkey & Corn Tin Foil Dinners

With all the camping we have been doing, we are enjoying creating some fun and healthy tin foil dinners! Here is the latest concoction...

Turkey & Corn Tin Foil Dinners
ground turkey (optional - 1/4 lb for each person)
sweet potatoes, peeled & sliced
white potatoes, peeled & sliced
baby carrots, halved
garlic cloves, halved
green beans, trimmed
mushrooms, halved
zucchini, halved
onions, sliced
kernels from one cob of corn

EVOO
McCormick Tuscan seasoning
salt and pepper
To prepare, take 2 large pieces (approx 18") of tin foil and 1 large piece of wax paper. (I do not like my food to touch the aluminum foil.) Layer cooking spray, then ground turkey and then veggies of your choice. Top with a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle with seasonings. Wrap foil around food to create a little package for the food to steam inside of.  When you are ready to cook, your fire should be burned down to coals, or the briquettes to white hot. Place the foil dinner on the coals. If you have enough briquettes, you can cut time in half by placing additional coals on top of the foil package as well.

Cooking time will vary depending on your coals, how big you make your tin foil dinner, and the size/type of the vegetables. Cook for about 20 minutes and then turn package over. Cook 20 minutes more. Remove from coals and carefully open to check to see if it is done. If not done, re-close, wrap another piece of foil around the package if needed and return it to the coals. Check again in another 10-15 minutes. When done, open and eat directly from the foil package.
