To make turkey hotdogs, follow these steps:
1. Gather the ingredients:
- Ground turkey
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Paprika
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Mustard powder
- Liquid smoke (optional)
- Olive oil
- Hotdog buns
- Toppings of your choice (ketchup, mustard, relish, onions, etc.)
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey with the desired seasonings. Start with approximately 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of mustard powder. Adjust the seasonings according to your taste preferences.
3. Add a few drops of liquid smoke to the turkey mixture if desired. Liquid smoke adds a smoky flavor to the hotdogs. Mix everything together evenly.
4. Preheat a grill or pan over medium heat. You can also use a stovetop griddle or a grilling machine.
5. Shape the turkey mixture into hotdog shapes, similar to the size and shape of regular hotdogs. Make sure they are compact and hold together well.
6. Drizzle or brush some olive oil onto the grill or pan to prevent sticking. Place the turkey hotdogs onto the grill or pan.
7. Cook the turkey hotdogs for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
8. While the hotdogs are cooking, lightly toast the hotdog buns if desired.
9. Once the turkey hotdogs are fully cooked, remove them from the grill or pan and place them into the toasted buns.
10. Serve the turkey hotdogs with your preferred toppings such as ketchup, mustard, relish, onions, or any other condiments of your choice.
Enjoy your homemade turkey hotdogs!
