- 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Lightly spray the grill with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place the turkey hot dogs on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until evenly heated and grill marks appear.
While the hot dogs are grilling, cut the red onion into thin slices.
Open the whole-wheat buns and place them on the grill for 1-2 minutes to lightly toast them.
Once the hot dogs and buns are done, place each hot dog into a bun.
Sprinkle a generous amount of low-fat shredded cheddar cheese onto each hot dog.
Add a few slices of red onion to each hot dog for added crunch and flavor.
Drizzle yellow mustard and ketchup over the cheesy hot dogs.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Serve immediately, while the cheese is still melted and gooey.
