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!
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.
