Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Canned tuna in water
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium Garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 Whole grain buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato, sliced
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer it to a mixing bowl.
Add the rolled oats, egg, chopped red onion, minced garlic, fresh parsley, lemon zest, and black pepper to the bowl with the tuna.
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined. The mixture should be moist but hold together when formed into a ball.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the tuna patties to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the patties are golden brown and heated through.
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Toast the whole grain buns lightly, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a tuna patty, a few slices of tomato, and the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, low sodium tuna burger!
