Instead of plain ol' tuna-salad-sandwiches for lunch, try this variation. Also great when you need a light, fast dinner. This recipe easily cuts in half, to serve just 1 or 2.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 (6 1/2 ounce) cans tuna in water, drained
2 eggs, beaten
1 carrot, scraped and finely grated
1/4 cup italian-style seasoned dry bread crumb
1 green onion, finely sliced
2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley
1 pinch cayenne pepper
4 teaspoons olive oil
4 hamburger buns

Directions

1
In a mixing bowl, combine tuna, eggs, carrot, breadcrumbs, onion, parsley and cayenne; shape mixture into four patties.
2
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
3
Saute tuna patties for four to five minutes on each side; turn carefully as they easily fall apart.
4
Serve on hamburger buns (really nice if toasted) with your choice of condiments; I recommend lettuce leaves and mayonnaise.

I absolutely loved this recipe. Better than I anticipated. I used crushed town house crackers and red onion and served the patties without buns. I served with steamed broccoli instead. The patties taste like a very yummy tuna meatloaf. Thank you...Lennie...for contributing to my collection of amazing recipes. Sincerely, Sherry Belle

Very good- My kids liked it. I used curry powder in it as well, and some dried cilantro. I agree that added some oats would help because some of mine broke apart. I used a hummus spread which was delightful with it and some strawberry ice tea to drink. I like this alot. EASY to make! Takes more like 20-25 min to make, but soooo worth it!

I loved it though it took me a while longer than 15 min to make! I added about 1 tbsp of oats to soak in the moisture from the carrots, maybe that´s why the burgers weren´t falling apart like you have been warning. Served with gnocci and fresh tomato salad - yummmm! Thanks!

I loved, loved, loved these. They were easy, delicious, refreshing and quick. Even my picky son at it. (although he did try to pick some of the carrot out!) I did not use the parsley, mainly because the less green things, the more likely he would be to eat it. I also added a little salt and about 1/4 cup oatmeal. I doubled the recipe and made 6 nice size rectangle patties that fit perfectly on my lightly buttered and toasted ciabatta rolls. I topped mine with garden tomato slices. Mayonnaise was also used and very good, but I think that an herbed or horseradish mayo would take this way over the top. I have given the recipe out already and have been refraining from making these every other day. (I did eat leftovers for breakfast and lunch the next day-lol) Thanks for a great recipe.
