    I'm kinda simple with my canned tuna:

    albacore tuna chunks in water
    drain water
    balsamic vinegar
    chinese five spice
    mix
    eat.

    Open can. Drain. Eat with a fork straight out of the can. :laugh:

    Seriously, I'd like to hear the answers to this too. I don't have a clue what to do with it, other than eating it with crackers or on a sandwich.

    lime juice and a hint of homemade olive oil and vinegar dressing is really good on it. :)

    I'm right with this poster...I never knew how tasty tuna can be WITHOUT mayo/miracle whip...

    break it up with a fork; throw it on some bread (or deli flat), add some reduced fat/fat free mozzarella...place in oven until cheese melts...have you a tuna melt :)

    I mix mine with diced carrots, cucumbers, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic salt, and fresh ground black pepper. Sometimes I put a hardboiled egg in it too. It's really good! Especially with a brown rice tortilla that's been toasted either in a toaster oven or regular oven. :)

    tuna cakes are always good.. throw in anything you like..

    ie
    tuna
    mayo or greek yogurt (binder)
    seasonings (garlic, onion, dill, etc etc)
    even add a lil leftover potato or brown rice as filler if you like

    hand form into patties, sear or bake til a lil browned/heated through (use a touch of pam to prevent sticking)

    serve with mustard or a homemade tartar sauce (greek yogurt, chopped dill pickle and lemon juice)

    i personally love them *L*

    Check out this link. It's for healthy sandwiches and I know not all of them include tuna but #9 is a tuna BURGER recipe which sounds fantastic!

    I like to make a simple pasta great for a quick dinner.

    - Start your penne pasta.

    - Saute off your choice of fresh veggies. (I like halfed grape tomatos (tossed in after you add the pasta), green beans, olives, a little garlic, and spinach. But anything you like will work.)

    - Add a can of tuna and heat through.

    - Season with salt and pepper.

    - Deglaze with a cup of chicken stock and a dash of white wine. Add a little cream or milk if you like.

    - Drain pasta and add to vegetable mixture.

    Toss everything togher and serve.

    What does "deglaze" mean?

    It means to get the little bit of liquid to what you are cooking. It will help you get the little bits of yummyness off the bottom of the pan you are cooking in.
