Pat dry the turkey sausages with a paper towel.

Insert skewers into the sausages, leaving about 2 inches of the skewer out.

Combine dry ingredients: 1.5 cups cornmeal, 1.25 cups flour, 0.25 cups sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 0.25 teaspoons salt.

Mix the dry ingredients together.

Combine wet ingredients: pour 1.75 cups buttermilk, crack 1 egg, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1 tablespoon honey.

Whisk the wet ingredients together.

Combine the dry and wet ingredients until the batter is ready.

Transfer the batter into a measuring cup for easier dipping.

Preheat the pot with oil to 350°F.

Dip the sausage into the batter, swirling as you lift it.

Dip the corn dog into the oil at an angle for about 5 seconds to seal the batter.

Drop the corn dog into the oil carefully.

Fry each corn dog for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

Place the corn dogs on a cooling rack to cool.

Serve with ketchup and mustard.
