Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces 94% lean ground turkey
- 8 ounces Low-sodium tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Light beef or turkey hot dogs
- 4 pieces Light hot dog buns
- 0.25 cup Reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions
Instructions
In a medium nonstick skillet, cook the ground turkey over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break it up into crumbles as it cooks.
Once the turkey is browned, reduce the heat to low. Stir in the tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld and the chili thickens.
While the chili is simmering, heat the hot dogs according to the package instructions. This can be done by boiling, grilling, or microwaving them, depending on your preference.
Toast the hot dog buns lightly, if desired, to add extra texture.
To assemble the chili dogs, place one hot dog in each bun. Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the prepared chili mixture over each hot dog.
Sprinkle each chili dog with 1 tablespoon of the shredded cheddar cheese and a small garnish of chopped green onions.
Serve immediately while the chili and hot dogs are warm. Enjoy your light and delicious WW Weight Watchers Chili Dogs!
