GRILLED TURKEY SAUSAGE
WITH MANGO RELISH
½ cup cubed ripe mango
1½ tsp. brown sugar
¼ cup diced red onion
1 tbsp. lime juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil spray
4 low-fat turkey sausages (about 12 oz. total)
4 whole wheat hot dog buns
Mix mango, brown sugar, onion and lime juice together in a small bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Preheat grill or use stove-top grill. Spray grill with vegetable oil spray. Grill sausages 5 minutes, then turn and grill 5 minutes more. A meat thermometer should read 165 degrees. Open hot dog buns and toast on grill for 2 minutes.
Serve sausages on buns and spoon mango relish on top.
Makes two servings.
Notes: Pick whatever turkey sausage suits your taste: spicy, tame, smoked. To cube a mango, slice off each side as close to the pit as possible. Hold the mango half skin side down. Score the fruit in a crosshatch pattern through to the skin. Bend the skin backwards so that the cubes pop up. Slice the cubes away. Score and slice any fruit left on the pit.
