Ingredients

4 turkey hot dogs
4 reduced calorie hot dog bun
4 slices Kosher dill pickle sandwich slices blotted dry with paper towel
1 plum tomato cut into 4 thin slices, each slice halved
2 teaspoon mustard or to taste

Heat outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Place each hot dog inside a toasted bun.
On one side of each hot dog in the bun, lay down one slice of pickle.
On the other side of each hot dog, arrange two halves of the tomato slices.
Spread ½ teaspoon of mustard over each hot dog.
Add 1 teaspoon of sweet pickle relish on top of the mustard on each hot dog.
Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of chopped onions over the relish on each hot dog.
If you like, place a pepperoncini on each hot dog.
