Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Canned Tuna in Water
- 0.5 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Greek Yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- 2 tablespoons Chopped Fresh Parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 4 pieces Whole Wheat Burger Buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce Leaves
- 4 slices Sliced Tomatoes
- 4 rings Sliced Red Onions
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Add the whole wheat breadcrumbs, egg, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, garlic powder, and black pepper to the bowl with the tuna.
Gently mix all ingredients together with a fork until well combined, being careful not to break down the tuna too much.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the tuna patties to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and warmed through.
While the patties cook, lightly toast the whole wheat burger buns.
Once the patties are cooked, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun.
Place a tuna patty on the lettuce, followed by a slice of tomato and a ring of red onion.
Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
