I'd experiment with cornflour (cornstarch), tapioca flour, potato flour (although it has a tendency to make things 'spongy'), or even plain wheat flour (if wheat intolerance isn't an issue).

I'm 'sailing by the seat of my pants' here as I don't generally use it, however, my initial thoughts would be to use it at less than 2% of the meat weight.

Looking through some Dutch Rookworst commercial manufacturing recipes, who are a bit similar to Frankfurters, they suggest that you can use up to 30 grams of Potato or corn flour per 1 kilo of meat.
Other flours are also recommended same weight per 1 kilo of meat.
Cheers,
Jan.

I'd not argue with that, but found that 2.6% (of meat) potato flour/starch (French fecule) gave a spongy texture when used in a cocktail sausage.
