Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups canned tuna (drained)
- 0.5 cups breadcrumbs
- 2 stalks green onion (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato (sliced)
- 8 pieces pickle slices
- 0.5 cups tartar sauce
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, breadcrumbs, green onions, parsley, egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and paprika.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until they are well incorporated and can hold their shape when formed into patties.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4-inch thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the tuna patties in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns in a toaster or on a dry skillet until warm and slightly crisp.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a tuna patty, a slice of tomato, and two pickle slices.
Spread tartar sauce on the top half of each bun, then place it on top to complete the burger.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Mermaid Delights Tuna Patties Burgers!
