Corn Dog Bites
Jennifer Iserloh
Corn dogs are one of those amusement park goodies I crave, smelling the combo of meat against a hot corn filling, with juicy meat on a stick -- all pretty irresistible by anyone's standards. Apparently, the corn dog has been around longer than I suspected, dating back to 1947 and now there's even a National Corndog Day. I've tried making them at home, and have seen and tested many corn dog recipes that aren't deep-fried.

Unfortunately they haven't come out close to the flavor of the real deal and are a mess to make. So I created these golden corn dog muffins. It's a cutie -- a bite-sized snack that uses the same flavors in a corn dog minus the stick. The recipe also swaps in turkey dogs for beef dogs to lower the fat and calories in this addictive snack.

Turkey dogs rock -- they taste great, are very low in calories (45 to 80 calories a pop depending on the brand) and 10 to 15 grams lower in fat compared to the beef ones. They are just as high in protein and garlicky flavor, and most kids don't even notice the difference.
