Tuna Burgers

Ingredients

(Its best to use fresh vegetables for this recipe)

• 1 can of tuna, drained (you can add a bit more, we did)
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup minced onion
• 1/4 cup minced celery
• 1/4 cup minced red bell pepper
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons A-1 or steak sauce
  
• 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Dash of onion powder
  
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 dash hot pepper sauce or ground dried peppers
  
• 2-4 hamburger buns (depending on size of burgers)
  
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 4 leaves of lettuce
  

*makes 2-4 servings

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients (except for hamburger buns, tomato, and lettuce of course) Mix well. Shape into 4 (or 2) patties (mixture will be very soft and delicate). Refrigerate for 30 minutes to make the patties easier to handle, if desired.
2. 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.
3. Serve on buns with tomato slices and lettuce leaves, if desired.

We dipped ours in a bit of mustard, but you are free to experiment with whatever you like.
