Veggie Tuna Burgers

From Healthy Cooking. I may add more tuna. PLEASE NOTE: As written, these are fairly bland. I am leaving the recipe that way for the benefit of folks feeding picky little ones. In the future, though, I will add some dill and Dijon mustard, or perhaps oregano and LOTS more garlic!

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup onion, finely diced
• 1  garlic clove, minced
• 1  cup zucchini, shredded
• 1  cup  yellow squash, shredded
• 1  cup carrot, shredded
• 1  egg, lightly beaten
• 2  cups  whole wheat bread crumbs (I used 1 1/2 c oatmeal, slightly pulverized)
• 1 (6 ounce) can light chunk tuna in water, drained and flaked
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
• 1  teaspoon butter

Directions

1. In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, saute onion and garlic for 1 minute. Add the zucchini, yellow squash and carrots; saute until tender. Drain and cool to room temperature.
2. In a large bowl, combine the egg, bread crumbs, tuna, salt and pepper. Add vegetable mixture. Shape into six 3-1/2-in. patties.
3. Coat the same skillet again with cooking spray; cook patties in butter for 3-5 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Serve on buns with cheese, lettuce and tomato.
