Tuna Burgers
By Addie
My family was hesitant to try these burgers when I first prepared them. They were so accustomed to the typical beef burger. But any skepticism they had disappeared after one bite.
Ingredients
- 1 can (6 to 7 ounces) tuna, drained and flaked
- 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons chili sauce
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 hamburger buns, split and toasted
- Lettuce, optional
- Sliced tomatoes, optional
Preparation
Step 1
In a bowl, combine the tuna, bread crumbs, celery, mayonnaise, onion, chili sauce and egg. Shape into four patties.
Melt butter in a skillet; cook patties for 4-5 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Serve on buns with lettuce and tomatoes if desired. Yield: 4 servings.

Easy, delicious meal! I used fat free miracle whip instead of mayo and placed the patties in pita bread instead of buns. Awesome! I also put cucumber slices on the burger to give it a nice crunch My husband loved this meal!. He's already asked me to make it again!
I loved them, my husband thought they were good. Our kids said they were "ok" but they all finished them with no complaints, which speaks for itself. They really reminded me of crabcakes, and I could see myself making up some to keep handy in the fridge for quick lunches later also, as they were also as tasty when reheated later. Very good!
Fabulous alternative if you're getting all (beef) burgered out. The best Tuna Burger recipe I've ever had. Was concerned with it being mushy when mixing the ingredients, but after cooking, it's just perfect. If you like tuna, make this. You'll be happy you did!
I have made these several times since I came across the recipe. They are just delicious. They are light tasty, have had them on a bun or just the burger with a salad. excellent!!
Oh...my...goodness!!!!! Now, anyone that knows me knows that it is an absolute MIRACLE when I actually take the time to cook a meal...let alone a good meal! I wanted something light to eat and I was going to make a regular tuna sandwich, but I happened upon this recipe and thought, "Why not?" Well, I successfully managed to whip this tuna burger up and it was ABSOLUTELY DIVINE!!!!! I made spinach dip on the side and also used it as a garnish on my burger - DELICIOUS!!! I still can't believe how good it was!
I love crab cakes and these are almost as good for a fraction of the price. I have eaten them in buns with lettuce and pepper rings and bunless with tarter sauce. I don't use mayonaise in the recipe, but Miracle Whip Lite and that cuts the fat and calories some. I have given the recipe to family too. These are great!
Excellent!
Would I make it again? I already did, so simple and sooo delicious.
My husband loved them and asked me to make them tonight! We had never had tuna burgers before but I'm glad I gave them a try.
