Delicious! I used regular bread instead of english muffins, non-fat mayo, and non-fat cheese. Thanks!

My DH and I really enjoyed this! I fixed it for lunch with leftover turkey and used the english muffins. Quick and delicious! Thank you.

I really enjoyed this! I used one slice of whole wheat bread instead of an english muffin, toasted & spread with my homemade garlic butter. I also used fat free mayo, pickles for the red onions & added a few shakes of minced onion, seasoning salt, black pepper & garlic powder. I used 3 oz tuna which made me work a little to get the other ingredients right, but I think I did well! Next time I'll add a tad more mustard & use onion powder-oh, and skipped the tomatoes & used low fat mozzarella cheese. I topped it with a small amount of diced turkey bacon. Lovely, quick lunch; thank you for sharing!

Loved it. The flavor was excellent even though I cut back on the mayo in an attempt to save fat and calories. I made my sandwich with two slices of buttered whole wheat bread and grilled them in a skillet on the stove top.
