"I'm trying to cut back on meat and have to watch my cholesterol, so I eliminated the meat in this recipe and used egg substitute," explains Rochelle Higgins of Fredericksburg, Virginia. "The patties are easy to make and reheat nicely in the microwave."

  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh gingerroot
  • 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
