1 slightly beaten egg
1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
2 tablespoons reduced-calorie mayonnaise or salad dressing
1 tablespoon snipped fresh parsley

1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 pound crabmeat, drained, flaked, and cartilage removed
1/3 cup finely crushed saltine crackers
Nonstick spray coating

DIRECTIONS:
In a medium mixing bowl combine egg, 1/4 cup of the yogurt, mayonnaise or salad dressing, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, paprika, and pepper. Stir in crabmeat and crushed crackers. Shape crab mixture into five 3-inch patties.
