Tuna Burgers

These are absolutely wonderful! They are definitely different and that is what makes them good. Also, a new way to serve tuna fish. Serve these with a nice green salad & good mashed garlic potatoes. I have changed the recipe a little because of personal taste. Hope you like it as well. Recipe Courtesy Paula Deen - Television Food Network, 2003.
