What to do with tuna

s2001t

Stay clear of tuna, and other seafoods. If it's been farmed raised, it's likely diseased. If it's from the pacific it's likely radiated from the Fukushima incident. I love tuna, but I won't go near the stuff now.

I drain it, sprinkle pepper and or cayenne pepper, a little garlic or onion powder, put on wheat Melba toast which is low cal...then I put franks hot sauce on top and eat! Yum.....no mayo or anything else. ..I usually have 3-5 for my lunch

Bombay tuna salad

1-6oz can water packed chunk white tuna drained
1/4 c f-f mayo
1celery stalk, thinly sliced
2 tbsp minced red onion
2 tbsp sliced almonds
2 tbsp golden raisins
2 tsp curry powder
2 tbp lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt mix together and serve on a bed of lettuce

This, except I use Greek yogurt instead of mayo and I also add diced Granny Smith apple and 1/2 c of corn, super yum!

I used to buy plain water packed tuna... then I discovered Trader Joe's No Sodium Water Packed White Albacore Tuna... the rest is History! White Tuna is a whole different animal.

But I am looking forward to the ideas others will be sharing on how they 'do their tuna up'.

Tuna cakes (like crab cakes)!

12 oz tuna in water
2 large eggs
celery/ onion chopped
ole bay seasoning

Mix together throw in the over for 30-45 min at 375. great flavor, LOVE THEM

Tuna patties are where it's at. I don't have any clue what their calorie count is but here's what I do and it is delicious.

Open and drain several cans of tuna, empty tuna into mixing bowl.
Open a pack of saltines and start crushing them over the tuna and mixing them in.
Add an egg or two depending on how much tuna/crackers you are making.
Eventually you get this mixture that you can form into balls, this is what you're looking for

Now heat up a non-stick pan and spray it with some no stick spray.
Form a couple tuna patties and toss them in, browning them on each side.

These things are super delicious solo or with some peach mango salsa. I usually make quite a few all at once and toss the rest in the fridge. They reheat pretty well!

oh definitely going to try this one!!!

Ahhh thanks for the tuna patty reminder.... Old Bay Seasoning and the crackers crunched up sound good... I think I'll mix the 2 recipes up and have a go at it!

Tuna with Cottage Cheese sounds yummy as well... love the ideas others all share of their favorites!:drinker:

Thanks Gang:flowerforyou:

I like to mix it into mashed potatoes

Tuna Salad Appetizers

1 can Clover light tuna in water
¼ cup chopped celery
¼ cup chopped red or while onion
¼ cup broccoli florets
2 tbsp Miracle Whip Non-Fat Dressing (green label, 15cals per tbsp)
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
16 spinach leaves
Fresh ground pepper

Directions: Drain tuna. Mix all ingredients together and spoon onto freshly washed spinach leaves. Makes
approximately 16.

WW Points: 0

* If you eat all 16 its 3 WW points or if you use the more commonly found Miracle Whip Light 30 cal per
tbsp its 4 WW point for all 16.

Here’s the photo I took

I bet that would be really good on basil leaves. Basil is one of my hot summer greens.
I also have chard,kale and amaranth but prefer them cooked.

bumping this to read later for recipes. My favorite thing is to add a little diced tomato, chopped celery, avacado, mayo, flaxseed, spicy brown mustard, lemon juice, and crushed red pepper. Mix well, and stuff a pita with the tuna mixture and spinach or chard and chow down.

I like to mash up tuna with avacado as a replacement for Mayo
