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.
