Ingredients
- 4 pieces Lean turkey or chicken sausages
- 4 pieces Whole grain hot dog buns
- 1 cup Sauerkraut
- 4 teaspoons Yellow mustard
- 0.5 cup Sliced onions
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the grill or a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the skillet if cooking on the stovetop.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
While the sausages are cooking, heat the sauerkraut in a small saucepan over low heat until warmed, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Once the sausages are cooked, place each in a whole grain bun.
Step 7
Top each hot dog with a quarter cup of sauerkraut, a few slices of sautéed onions, and about a teaspoon of yellow mustard.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy hot dogs with your choice of side, such as a leafy green salad.
