"This is from the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation's website - haven't tried it yet, but wanted to post it here as I really wanna try it! I've tried some of the others from the site, and they're all pretty healthy and good! I think they'd be great in a tortilla or pita with some diced tomato and cukes..."

These were good, but they turned out a bit dry for our taste. Per other reviewers' recommendations I added a bit of salt and extra garlic, which added to the flavor. I had something else in the oven at a lower temp so I baked longer, lower. The yogurt sauce was very good, also, though 1 year old DS preferred ketchup LOL. Made for ZWT 9, Gourmet Goddesses.

These were quite tasty, but mine did not hold together, which is why I'm giving them a 4 out of 5 stars. Loved the yogurt sauce, though - very yummy! Made for ZWT9.

These are really good. I'll be making them again. As stated by other reviewers, the sauce makes the recipe. They did take a lot longer to bake than stated but that's an easy fix. Made for ZWT9 Soup A Stars.

I made these adding a small amount od salt and some Ras El Hanout and they turned out yummy. Really loved the yogurt dip! that really pushed them over the top. They were enjoyed with a carrot salad for a lovely summed dinner.

The patties were good, but the sauce added the real wow factor! The combo of lemon and mint was cooling and refreshing, wonderful paired with the bite of the jalapeno in the patties. Thanks for sharing! ZWT8
