Tuna Burger Sensations (Ww - 9 Points Plus)

Submitted by CulinaryExplorer

"I have never tried a tuna patty before believe it or not and wanted to tonight. However, once looking through a few recipes I quickly realized that A. they were a bit higher calorie/fat than I could justify since we are on WW, and B. I didn't have some of the ingredients to a lot of the recipes I did find. So I took a chance and created my own for my first one. It turned out GREAT! At least we think so..... For those that may be counting these are 8pts a piece on weight watchers."

YUM! I used the whole 5 oz can of tuna and made them into ranch tuna burgers by increasing the ranch mix to 1 tablespoon. I got 4 patties. Very nice.

These were really yummy!!! The only changes I made were to use the entire container of tuna, the one I found at the store was 5 oz. and I used regular cheddar cheese because that's what I had on hand. I'm not on WW so I wasn't worried about changing the point value of the food. This was a great lazy summer night dinner. Served with some cut melon and it was perfect. Thanks for sharing.

a very good change up for a tuna. i added slice tomatoe and it did nothing but livened it up a bit.
