Whoever coined the phrase, ‘Summer holidays‘ obviously didn’t have kids and a hectic schedule. I’m exhausted! Don’t get me wrong, I love the Summer months; the days in the sun and all the great seasonal activities that come with it. Yet, we are literally on-the-go from sun up until long after sun down. A holiday it really isn’t {just chaos without school}.
On those days {which is most}, where we aren’t home until just before supper – there’s that mad rush to prepare something. Anything. I try to meal plan as best as I can, yet sometimes I’m staring at the freezer right at dinnertime. You know that situation well, right?
Cue the Hot Dogs!
I recently tried a ‘new dog’ on a very busy day, and not only was it quick and easy. But, it was also incredibly delicious.
I tried Turkey Franks by Butterball!
When I first bought them, I questioned why I always reached for pork or beef hot dogs. I mean, I love the usuals, but why don’t I serve turkey ones more often?
They really are great tasting and huge in size. As well, they have a lot less fat, no MSG and are lactose & gluten free. Adding Butterball Turkey Franks to the menu along side our other favorites breaks up the monotony from time to time. Did I mention less fat? We could all use that from time to time as well.
So, on one particular busy day, grilling up Butterball Turkey Franks for dinner fit into my schedule perfectly. Being the {lazy} dogging days of summer, I just added some fresh veggies and fruits to our plates. Dinner – done!
With such an easy cleanup, in no time I was relaxing on the deck and taking the in last sunny hours of the day. I then ‘got it’ – this is the ‘summer holidays’ everyone is talking about. Easy and delicious, I’ll do this more often!

Looks really delish!!!! Funny I haven’t thought of turkey dogs before, I will now. We love butterball turkeys!
I agree, the whole turkeys are pretty awesome, definitely worth giving the other products a try!
I thought they only had whole turkeys at holidays! Thanks for the heads up, I’m going to try them!
I recall thinking that years ago too sara! Goes to show I might be shopping with blinders on, right? lol {taking them off now, I’m missing out – a lot!}
Mmm i tried these turkey dogs and loved them
High fives Marla – you know what I’m talkin’ about!
It isn’t summer without a great hotdog!!! You just made me so hungry!
SO true! I’m on “summer holidays” now for almost a week and it seems like just pressure to get even more done!
Exactly, Jenn!!
I didn’t realize Butterball made hot dogs. But then again, I’m from the US, so maybe that’s why. Looks delicious!
Oh maybe… but I think they have Butterball products there. I’d check the website and see, they are so good – definitely worth checking into!
Turkey dogs huh? Interesting concept but they look yummy, I may have to throw them in my cart on the next shopping trip!
They are so good! Tastes like the regulars just with less noticeable fat too.
I don’t think I have heard of these before. I will definitely look for them now. Thank you for the information!
sounds yummy! Gotta add it to my grocery list.
Had them again last night Sarah!
I’ll never give up beef dogs, but switching it up with these once in a while is nice too!
I’m very particular on the type of hot dogs I feed my kids. I had no idea Butterball even offered turkey dogs! I’ll have to give them a try on our next grocery shop. Thanks for blogging about them!
Yay! Glad to introduce you to a new product!
Who knew! I have some friends who don’t eat the pork hot dogs so this is a nice alternative
thanks for the heads up!
gluten and lactose free too, I know some friends who have since purchased them for that reason!
always looking for new easy lunch ideas! thanks!
I love grilling over the summer, especially hot dogs! I will have to try this kind
I have never tried a turkey dog before. I didn’ t even know they exist.
That’s Great! I never even knew that they made turkey franks. I am not a hot dog fan but I’m always willing to try new things. Thanks for the review, it made me hungry..lol
