If you dont enjoy, or cant always eat red meat, this may be a perfect substitution. Its a heart, tasty, explosive on your taste buds burger that can be topped with your favorite toppings just as you would with a regular burger. I make it for my nieces all the time and they absolutely love it. Considering they are 12 and 5, feeding them tuna mixed with veggies.....that they LOVE.....is a great thing.

SERVES 2 -3 , 2 -3 burger patties (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 5-12 ounces tuna, drained (2 cans)
  • 5 tablespoons breadcrumbs (I like the italian style breadcrumbs)
  • 2 tablespoons pickle relish
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (I use fresh, if you are using pre-packaged dry parsely only use 1/2 tablespoon)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped scallion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped white onions
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1/3 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons egg substitute or 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon oil (or margarine, dont use butter, it has salt, that mixes with the salt already added to the mix)

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix all ingredients (but not the tuna or the oil yet) together in a bowl. Once they are mixed well add the Tuna to the mix, and fold it into itself until all the ingredients are well mixed.
  2. 2
    Heat a sauce pan with the oil on a medium heat.
  3. 3
    while that heats up for a minute, grab a good amount of the mixture in the bowl, and shape it like a burger (this mix will make 2-3 burgers).
  4. 4
    place the burger in the pan and cook it for 3-5 minutes on each side (you will know its done on that side because it will be a light-medium brown.
  5. 5
    place it on a burger bun, or a pita like I do. Top it with cheese, or tomatoes, or lettuce, or all of them plus whatever else you would like.
  6. 6
    This is a great alternative to beef burgers, that arent healthy to eat too often.
