Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained canned tuna, almond flour, eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well-combined and formable.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into 8 patties of equal size, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
