Preheat the grill or a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the skillet if cooking on the stovetop.
Place the turkey or chicken sausages on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and fully heated through.
While the sausages are cooking, heat the sauerkraut in a small saucepan over low heat until warmed, about 3 to 5 minutes.
In a separate small skillet over medium-low heat, add the sliced onions with a touch of olive oil and black pepper. Sauté until the onions are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
Once the sausages are cooked, place each in a whole grain bun.
Top each hot dog with a quarter cup of sauerkraut, a few slices of sautéed onions, and about a teaspoon of yellow mustard.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy hot dogs with your choice of side, such as a leafy green salad.
