I use fresh tuna for this but I suppose you could sub canned tuna (two cans)

1 Tuna steak (about 8 oz)
3/4 C Picksweet Seasoning (bell peppers, onion and celery)
1 tsp chopped garlic
1/4 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
1/4 tsp Nature's Seasoning
1 Tbs lemon juice
1 egg
1/2 C Pepperidge Farm Herb Seasoned Stuffing

Poach tuna steak in water, lemon juice and Old Bay Seasoning. Save the poaching liquid. Saute veggies until soft and clear. In a small bowl, combine the poaching liquid and stuffing. Shred the tuna, add to stuffing mixture. Beat egg slightly and add this and Nature's Seasoning to the stuffing/tuna mixture. Divide into 4 portions and shape into patties. Rest in refrig for at least an hour.
I use a Seasoned Bread Crumbs for dip/flip before frying in non stick skillet sprayed with olive oil. Fry on both sides long enough to cook egg and heat thoroughly.

Who would have thought tuna would get this much love??? Great recipes! Here's how I like to eat it:
- mixed w/ avocado, diced onion and celery, S&P, fresh lemon juice
-mixed w/ hummus and same above minus avocado
-add to pasta w/ halved cherry tomatoes, maybe some black olives
-instead of pasta, make spiralized zucchini noodles then add the cherry tomatoes, diced red peppers, etc.
-stuffed inside a beefsteak tomato
-tuna quesadilla
-tuna patties - use a binder like breadcrumbs, egg white, some chopped veggies and seasoning of choice
-straight out of a packet on Mary's Gone Crackers w/ a little salsa
-top a mixed green salad w/ veggies (red pepper, diced carrot, cucumber, beets, onion). For dressing I just use a bit of fresh lemon juice and a spritz of olive oil

What an amazing bumper crop of tuna ideas! Awesome! BUMPing for later use. Between meatless Mondays and fish-loaded meatless Fridays, this helps a LOT! :bigsmile: :glasses:

Add it to some gluten free pasta or quinoa.

I like to mix tuna w/ penne -- and I enjoy the flavored tuna so I don't have to add hardly anything into my pasta.

A bit of mayo, some honey mustard, lemon juice, pepper and relish or chopped pickle. I eat it on top of some higher-fiber multi-grain crackers as a meal. It's relatively low calorie and I find it filling.

Tuna Cakes!!!

*Altered from a Kraft recipe.

2 cans tuna, drained,
(6 oz.) Stuffing Mix (I use low sodium Stove-Top)
1 cup Shredded Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
3/4 cup water
2 green onions, sliced
1/3 cup light Mayo
1 Tbsp. lemon juice

Mix all together and shape into patties (makes about 12). Leave in the fridge for at least 30 min. Heat a prying pan to medium heat, cook patties a few at a time for about 6-10 minutes - turn after 3-4 minutes, until golden brown.

Soooooo yummy!

This sounds really good! Can't wait to try it :-)! Do you know what the calorie count/nutritional info on this is?

Ran this through the recipe app on MFP and it guesstimated around 135 per serving. Obviously this goes up and down based on the actual brands of mayo, stuffing mix and cheese used.

I mix tuna with hummus or guacamole.
