These are some of the world's best tuna burgers. I came up with the idea when I had some tuna in my pantry and needed to use it up. I just threw the ingriedents into a big bowl, mixed it up, made some patties, and sauteed them in butter. And what came out was one of the best recipes I had yet to make. ENJOY! Ingredients:
2 (7 1/16 ounce) packages of starkist flavor fresh tuna in water |
1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise |
1 teaspoon mustard |
1/4 teaspoon turmeric |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
1/2 teaspoon equal sugar substitute or 1/2 teaspoon splenda sugar substitute |
4 atkin friendly hamburger buns, plus |
1 extra atkin friendly hamburger bun |
1 cup unseasoned breadcrumbs (see note below) |
4 tablespoons butter |
iceberg lettuce |
mayonnaise |
mustard |
onion |
pickle |
hard-boiled egg |
Directions:
1. Place the first 7 ingriedents in a medium bowl and stir to comebined; flake the tuna as you stir.
2. Take the extra hamburger bun and toast it in the toaster until browned.
3. Using a bow cheese grater, grate the bun into the tuna mixture and then stir to comebined.
4. Form the mixture into 4 patties and place on a plate, cover with foil or plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator for atleast 2 hours and up to 2 days.
5. When you are ready to use them, remove them from the refrigerator, pat them in the bread crumbs, and saute them in the butter in a preheated (medium-high) skillet until golden brown on both sides (this won't take long so don't leave them).
6. Place on hamburger buns with your choice of toppings.
7. Note: If you do not want to use bread crunbs you can take 2 more Atkin's friendly buns, toast them, and chop them in your food processpr for low carb bread crumbs.
