Is it just me or does it feel just a little weird to call hot dogs franks? I dunno about you but saying I “ate a frank” sounds a little dirty and just plain wrong. But I am willing to call it that if Jennie-O wants me to because these were sooo yummy!
I was a little worried at first when I bought them but I think this table side anecdote will reassure any other buyer as much as it comforted me. SO- My dad was cooking the hot dogs and hamburgers for dinner and I asked him to make two of my turkey franks so I could try them. So he piled them all onto the grill and come dinner time it wasn’t very clear which “franks” were mine and which were the regular hot dogs. The only real distinguishing element of the turkey hot dogs were that they were shorter. So we are sitting at the table and I turn to my dad and go “Hey Dad, can you hand me one of my turkey dogs” and he looks at the plate and goes oops. My brother had already eaten one of them. My brother the most finicky eater in the world had accidentally eaten one of my turkey hot dogs! I was shocked, and super psyched.
Thankfully there was one turkey dog left, and it tasted exactly like a hot dog. It was even better wrapped in a White Wheat Nature’s Own bun with onions/relish/and tomatoes on top and I couldn’t tell a difference. Which is GREAT because regular hot dogs aren’t so great for you. OH and this pack of eight at my Local Walmart-Superstore was under a dollar! If that isn’t a great reason to give it a try!
I wasn’t able to find any reviews of this particular product but if you have found some please let me know. But I did find these comments about other turkey dog products
- I.Ate.A.Pie.net reviewed the Ball Park Bun Sized White Turkey Smoked Franks and disliked the salty taste, they only gave the product 2 out of 5 points.
And if you have tried any other kind of turkey frank or sausage product whether it was good or bad, share the informational wealth!

I like these, too, but if the picture shown is what you bought, you actually got 10 franks for less than a dollar.

I just picked these up at Food Lion the other night. I happened to see them laying in the hot dog section, read the nutritional info, and nervously bought them. These things are so flippin’ good they have to be killing me. I also ate mine on Nature’s Own Whitewheat buns and I like them way better than regular hot dogs. Good stuff. I will be buying these a lot.

I really like the taste of these franks but they are rather skinny and small. When they are in a regular size bun it is like the turkey frank being in an oversize jacket.
