Simple Tuna Burger

I came home last night in search of a burger.  Not having the time to defrost some beef I took to the pantry in hopes of finding something else.  I came across two cans of tuna and wondered how easy it would be to turn those into some that resembled a burger.  It was pretty simple.

Ingredients.

  • 2 cans of tuna
  • 1 egg
  • Garlic Salt (to taste)
  • Onion Powder (to taste)

I dumped all the ingredients into a bowl and mixed away.  Once the eggs was completely mixed in and the spices had been added, I dumped the meat onto a skillet that had been warming with a little olive oil.  About 3 minutes on each side and I had a delicious burger ready for my taste buds.  I put some white corn tortilla’s in the toaster oven to act as my bun, and poured a little salsa on the top to act as my ketchup.

Overall the burger tasted really good. I was nice enough to save one for my lovely wife and she equally enjoyed the burger.  If I decide to make these again, I may try a better quality tuna or attempt to drain out some more water. As you can see from the pictures, they got a little sloppy until they were cooked.

If anyone decides to give this a shot, let me know what you think!

    This is really similar to what I do for tuna burgers. You definitely do have to drain them really well, or they’ll slop apart. Try adding in a little bit of breadcrumbs and a bit of French’s mustard, it helps them stay together.

      I can try the French Mustard but since I have a Gluten Intolerance, I will have to stay away from the breadcrumbs. Thanks for the suggestions though!

    I’m going to have to try this without the tortillas. Looks tasty.

      The mustard and Worcestershire sauce idea sounds really good too. I may have to try that next time.
