Ingredients
Scale
1 can (15 ounces) tuna, drained and flaked
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
4 whole wheat burger buns
Lettuce leaves, for serving
Tomato slices, for serving
Avocado slices, for serving
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, red onion, celery, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the tuna patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the whole wheat burger buns in a toaster or on a skillet until golden.
Assemble the burgers by placing a tuna patty on each bun, then topping with lettuce, tomato slices, and avocado slices.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy tuna burgers!
Notes
For added flavor, mix in some chopped fresh herbs like parsley or dill into the tuna mixture.
Substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise for a lighter option, or add a splash of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
