1
stalk celery, finely chopped
1
green onion, finely chopped
1/4
cup cholesterol-free egg substitute
3
tablespoons fat-free tartar sauce
1
teaspoon seafood seasoning

Lemon wedges or slices (optional)
Preparation:
1.
Combine crabmeat, cracker crumbs, celery and onion in medium bowl; set aside.

Mix egg substitute, tartar sauce and seafood seasoning in small bowl; pour over crabmeat mixture. Gently mix so large lumps will not be broken. Shape into 6 (3/4-inch-thick) patties. Cover; refrigerate 30 minutes.
