Time 15m

Yield 6 patties, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (6 ounce) cans solid white tuna, flaked
1 egg
1 cup of shredded cheese (whatever your preference)
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1 medium onion, dices small
1/3 cup seasoned dry bread crumb, for the mix
1/2 cup breadcrumbs, on the side for coating
Pam cooking spray, for coating the pan

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl mix all ingredients together thoroughly. I noticed it is a better consistency if you mix with your hands.
  • Place the extra breadcrumbs for coating on a shallow dish.
  • Preheat pan on medium with Pam.
  • Form a patty with your hands and coat both sides of it with breadcrumbs.
  • Place the patty in a preheated fry pan.
  • Repeat steps until mix is finished, usually around 6 patties.
  • Cook until each side has browned and has a slight crispiness.
  • I like to serve them on toasted bread with mayo, lettuce, and tomato if you like.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 pound sushi-grade tuna, finely diced
1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper
2 scallions, finely sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil, for cooking
