Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (5 ounce) can tuna, drained
1 egg
½ cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
⅓ cup minced onion
¼ cup minced celery
¼ cup minced red bell pepper
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chili sauce
½ teaspoon dried dill weed
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 dash hot pepper sauce
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
4 hamburger buns
1 tomato, sliced
4 leaves of lettuce

Steps:

  • Combine tuna, egg, bread crumbs, onion, celery, red bell pepper, mayonnaise, hot chili sauce, chili sauce, dill, salt, pepper, hot pepper sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well. Shape into 4 patties (mixture will be very soft and delicate). Refrigerate for 30 minutes to make the patties easier to handle, if desired.
  • Coat a non-stick skillet with cooking spray; fry tuna patties for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. These are fragile, so be careful when turning them.
  • Serve on buns with tomato slices and lettuce leaves, if desired.

Tips

  • Use high-quality tuna. Look for tuna that is labeled "pole-caught" or "line-caught." These methods are more sustainable and result in higher quality fish.
  • Don't overcook the tuna burgers. They should be cooked through, but still moist and flaky.
  • Serve the tuna burgers on a bun with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include lettuce, tomato, onion, and avocado.
  • If you're making the burgers ahead of time, cook them according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Store the burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • To reheat the burgers, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for about an hour. Then, pan-fry the burgers over medium heat until they are warmed through.

Conclusion

Paleo tuna burgers are a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are packed with protein and omega-3 fatty acids, and they are low in carbohydrates and calories. Plus, they are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy lunch or dinner, give paleo tuna burgers a try.
