Tuna Burger with Lemon Mayonnaise!
Light, zesty, and packed with protein—these tuna burgers are the ultimate, easy, high protein lunch! I use simple canned tuna, so this recipe comes together fast for a healthy, low-calorie meal that you will love! These patties taste just as good the next day too, so they are great for meal prep for a busy week!
If you haven't tried Spike seasoning, I highly recommend it! I've been using it for years. It's so good in these tuna patties, and it's also amazing on avocado, cottage cheese, and roasted vegetables! You should be able to find it in your grocery store, or you can head on over to my Amazon storefront, look under Ingredients, and you'll find it there!
For the Tuna Burgers
Ingredients:
2 cans Wild Planet Albacore Wild Tuna & Sea Salt
¼ cup Egg Whites
1 Egg
1 tsp Spike Seasoning
2 tbsp chopped Parsley
1 stalk Celery, grated
¼ Onion, grated
½ tsp Lemon Zest
3 Thomas 100 Calorie English Muffins, lightly toasted
Lettuce
Tomato
Pickles (and any other toppings that you like!)
Instructions:
Combine the tuna, egg whites, egg, Spike, parsley, celery, onion, and lemon
zest in a bowl.
Divide the mixture into three portions and form each portion into a tight ball, squeezing out (but reserving!) the liquid.
Add each ball to a non-stick skillet coated with cooking spray and gently form into a patty shape.
Pour the reserved liquid (it’s the eggs!) evenly over each of the patties and tuck in any spills to keep the patty shape.
Cover and cook for 3-4 minutes, then flip, cover and cook on the other side for 3-4 minutes, until done!
For the Lemon Mayonnaise
Ingredients:
2 tbsp Mayonnaise
½ tsp Lemon Zest
½ tsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper
Instructions:
Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl.
To assemble:
Use 1 tsp of the Lemon Mayonnaise on each half of each English muffin for the sandwich.
Put one patty, some lettuce, tomato, and even some pickle on each English muffin and enjoy!
