I’ve the same question as Seena. Can this be made with ground chicken instead of beef? Will we need the meat tenderizer in that case?

You can substitute the beef for ground/minced turkey or chicken.
Both the Turkey and Chicken meat tend to cook a lot faster than beef. We suggest you omit the tenderizer, reduce the yogurt to about 1/2 cup and reduce the cooking times as well to about 30 min covered and 15 uncovered (remember that the color will be different from what the beef looks like).
Like always, we say that everyone’s ovens are different and keep an eye on it.

You can freeze them and reheat them in the oven (thanks to the liquid) and they still remain moist or you can reheat them in the microwave.

Can eggs be eliminated from this recipe as i am allergic to eggs? Can a substitute be used??

Eggs are very important to this recipe, they are used for 2 things, binding and moisture. You can try some egg substitutes like flax seed powder:
for 1 egg – take 1 tbsp of flaxseed powder and add 3 tbsp of warm water. Mix well and allow it to stand for 5 minutes. It will get the same texture as eggs.
Add it in the recipe excatly like you would eggs.
We have never used it in this recipe but have for a lot of others and it works out great! You will not miss the egg at all.
Hope that helps!
