    I was just asking about this the other day. I have cans and cans of tuna and have no idea what to do with them. Those tuna patties sound yummy.

    1 can of tuna, 2 tbspns Low fat mayo, 2 tbspns fresh jalapeño salsa (the kind in the produce section). Mix all together and serve on favorite bread or cracker. I like it on triscuits:)

    I just made something on a whim and it was awesome

    can of tuna, drained but a little of the liquid left in or a few drops of water added
    1 tbls Kraft Miracle Whip light
    Sweet banana peppers, lightly chopped
    generous sprinkle Arizona Dreaming seasoning by Penzey's Spice
    Pepper to taste

    Mix above well and set aside.

    On one Flat Bread Light Italian slice, put a generous handful (as much as you want) spring mix lettuce. Sprinkle with 1 tbls crumbled feta cheese.

    Top with tuna mixture. Roll up and enjoy! Something about the combo of the tuna and the zingy sweet banana peppers is really hitting the spot for me lately!

    I take a can of tuna, add a few tables spoons of low fat cream cheese , chopped green onions, a clove of dived garlic, & mix. Either.... serve with whole wheat pita chips or ( my fav) whole wheat "cresent" rolls ( in the can) put a dolup of tuna /cheese mixturein the center of one triangle and fold over , seal edges by pinching and sprinkle with Mrs Dash ( or herb mixture of choice)
    Bake....... serve hot....

    eatingwell.com, has a delicious pasta and tuna recipe. It calls for grilled tuna, but I use canned. Is very filling! Hope the link will work.

    If, it won't work, just copy it and post in your address bar. I made this the other night with major reservations if my hubby and kid, or even myself would like it, but we all loved it. which is a big deal for my husband to eat something like this.

    I use tuna to stuff a tomatoe..mix 1/2 can with a little low fat mayo (I sometimes add red wine vinegar), onion and dill weed (taste like pickle relish) and if you need the extra you can add a boiled egg then stuff the tomatoe with it or serve over a bed of lettuce YUMMY

    It is also really good as a main dish (prepaired the same way but add bell peppers) mixed with whole wheat Rotini noodles and topped with 2% cheese and only cooking involved is the noodles. It's like a tuna helper..

    If you like capers they are also good mixed into the above..

    I could eat this several days in a row:
    http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/tuscan_style_tuna_salad.html

    * 2 6-ounce cans chunk light tuna, drained (see Note)
    * 1 15-ounce can small white beans, such as cannellini or great northern, rinsed (see Ingredient note)
    * 10 cherry tomatoes, quartered
    * 4 scallions, trimmed and sliced
    * 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    * 2 tablespoons lemon juice
    * 1/4 teaspoon salt
    * Freshly ground pepper, to taste

    Add some spicy red pepper hummus and a high fiber wrap...it is awesome!!

    Super easy trick...mix in the tuna with pic de gallo instead of mayo. It tastes fresh and yummy and you have almost 0 prep work to do! Slap that on some WW bread and you are good to go!

    Tuna melts are a favorite of mine. To give your tuna more flavor, mix in just enough mayo to get the tuna wet then add whatever spices you like - my favorites are garlic, paprika, and curry. I lightly brush two slices of bread with olive oil and put my favorite cheese on. Then I toast in the oven for about five minutes at 350, add on the tuna and you have a delicious low-cal dinner.

    Also, replace chicken with tuna in your favorite pasta dishes.
