What to do with tuna

I have a tuna, tomato & cottage cheese sandwich on wholegrain bread for lunch almost every day. When I'm feeling lazy at night I'll often steam some frozen vegies and sweet potato, stir some tuna through with a little sweet chilli sauce and grated cheese - YUM! Sometimes I'll add rice too, depending on my carb intake for the day. The opportunities are endless!!!

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?

bumping for later

Flake it over pasta and mix with olives, parsley, capers, and a drizzle of olive oil to make a simple, satisfying dinner. Or for a healthy twist on tuna salad, toss with a little olive oil and lemon juice, minced Granny Smith apple, and a pinch of curry powder.

* 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

Those look pretty!

Personally, I'm not a raw broccolli fan
So, maybe I'd use a slice of green onion or celery instead.

I make it into a meditteranean style mix that I have on Rykrisps, or honestly just plain.

1 can of tuna, drained but I leave a little liquid in there
1/2 to 1 capful of lemon juice concentrate
1/4 cup garbanzo beans or canellini beans, drained and rinsed well
1 tblsp Kraft mayo with olive oil
onion flakes to taste
small amt of basil
shake or two of Tastefully Simple Garlic Garlic

Mix well and either chill for a bit to mix flavors or you can have it right away. Play with the seasonings...you can really do alot with herbs and salt free mixes.

You could add chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers or anything really.

Once, I also made a mistake and prepared it with curry, dried cranberrys and chopped walnuts...as yuck as that sounds, it really wasnt bad!!

Tuna with chilli is sooo nice! wrapped in some crispy lettuce leaves, yummmm!

ASIAN TUNA PATTIES
Ingredients

* 2 (6 ounce) cans tuna, drained and flaked
* 1 egg, beaten
* 3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
* 3 green onions, minced
* 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
* 1 tablespoon soy sauce
* 1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce
* 1 tablespoon ketchup
* 1 teaspoon sesame oil
* 1 teaspoon black pepper
* 1/2 cup cornmeal
* 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix tuna, egg, bread crumbs, green onions, and garlic. Blend soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, ketchup, sesame oil, and pepper into the mixture. Form the mixture into about 6 patties approximately 1 inch thick. Lightly sprinkle each patty on all sides with cornmeal.
2. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Fry each patty about 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

Got this recipe off of all-recipes.....it is AH-MAZE-ING! Never looked at the nutritional content...but I imagine it would help by a lot by replacing the soy sauce with a low sodium choice....

I love adding tuna to multigrain pasta and homemade alfredo sauce (just mix together a couple different cheeses - cream cheese, parmesan, any shredded cheese that melts easily, butter or margarine, garlic). Add some veggies for extra fiber, yUM!

My sister likes to mix Tuna with a bit of mayo and relish. It's actually very good. I've had it. Give it a try.
