Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 ounces each) Canned tuna
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 stalks, finely chopped Green onion
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 buns Burger buns
- 4 leaves Lettuce
- 1 large, sliced Tomato

Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and place it into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the egg, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice to the tuna.
Mix in the finely chopped green onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is well combined.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the tuna patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns lightly if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a tuna patty.
Top the patties with a slice of tomato and pickle slices.
Finish by placing the top half of the bun on each burger and serve immediately.
