This is Tuna? Burger.

Jes-cooks's Note:

If you dont enjoy, or cant always eat red meat, this may be a perfect substitution. Its a heart, tasty, explosive on your taste buds burger that can be topped with your favorite toppings just as you would with a regular burger. I make it for my nieces all the time and they absolutely love it. Considering they are 12 and 5, feeding them tuna mixed with veggies.....that they LOVE.....is a great thing.

• Total Time: 35 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 2-3

Yield: 2.0 burger ...

• 12 ounces tuna , drained (2 cans, usually)
• 5 tablespoons breadcrumbs (I like the italian style breadcrumbs)
• 2 tablespoons pickle relish
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (I use fresh, if you are using pre-packaged dry parsely only use 1/2 tablespoon)
• 1 tablespoon chopped scallion
• 2 tablespoons chopped white onions
• 1 stalk celery , chopped
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 garlic clove , finely chopped
• 1⁄3; teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 3 tablespoons egg substitute or 1 egg
• ½ teaspoon oil (or margarine, dont use butter, it has salt, that mixes with the salt already added to the mix)

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients (but not the tuna or the oil yet) together in a bowl. Once they are mixed well add the Tuna to the mix, and fold it into itself until all the ingredients are well mixed.
2. Heat a sauce pan with the oil on a medium heat.
3. while that heats up for a minute, grab a good amount of the mixture in the bowl, and shape it like a burger (this mix will make 2-3 burgers).
4. place the burger in the pan and cook it for 3-5 minutes on each side (you will know its done on that side because it will be a light-medium brown.
5. place it on a burger bun, or a pita like I do. Top it with cheese, or tomatoes, or lettuce, or all of them plus whatever else you would like.
6. This is a great alternative to beef burgers, that arent healthy to eat too often.

I enjoyed this recipe very much. I did not have the parsley or the scallions but it still was delicious. I used poupon mustard instead. Thanks

All I can say is 'amazing'. Ive been trying to get my kids (a teenage boy and preteen girl) to eat something with a healthy twist, and they love this! I think I'll try some other things you have to offer!
