Ingredients

TUNA BURGERS
  • 2 cans tuna (in water)drain well (2 x 6 ounce cans / 2x 125g)
  • 1½ cups cracker crumbs (I use saltine crackers using a blender to mash them)
  • 1 egg slightly beaten
  • 1-2 stalks celery finely chopped
  • ½ cup light or regular mayonnaise (more if needed)
DILL MAYO SAUCE
  • ½ cup light or regular mayo
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½-1 teaspoon dried dill (or 1-2tablespoons fresh chopped)

Instructions

TUNA BURGERS
    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium bowl add tuna and flake well with a fork, add cracker crumbs, egg, celery and mayonnaise. Mix until combined.
  2. Form into patties (I made 5 patties), place in a lightly greased frying pan and cook on medium heat, approximately 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown or desired doneness. Serve immediately. Top each with Dill Mayo Sauce if desired. Enjoy!
DILL MAYO SAUCE
  1. In a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice and dill.

Notes

  • Yes they can be made in advance, place on a plate cover with plastic wrap or parchment paper and refrigerate up to one day.
  • Store the completely cooled burgers in an airtight container, they will keep for up to 3-4 days in the fridge.
  • You can freeze the Tuna Patties uncooked or cooked. To freeze uncooked be sure to freeze them in an airtight freezer safe container on layers of parchment paper. No need to thaw, just cook them frozen. Although they may need some extra cooking time.
  • If you decide to freeze them cooked, then make sure to cool completely before storing in an airtight container again on layers of parchment paper. Let thaw over night in the fridge and warm in the oven.
