my husband bought a bunch of those garlic herb tuna packets for deployment and I still have a bunch here. Not a huge tuna fan, any favorite recipes I could try out?

    I like to add one of the packets to a can of drained/rinsed chickpeas and make a sort of salad out of it. A little olive oil and vinegar, chopped onion and some black pepper and you're good to go.

    I add tuna to pasta for a great pasta salad. Using high fiber is even a bigger plus.

    Yes, I love this tuna sweet potato jackets recipe at around 300kcal (I use a lot more tuna mix/potato).

    Maybe try making tuna casserole, pasta salad with lots veggies and cheese or if you really don't like them how about donating to a food pantry or shelter.

    The good shelter is where they are going if I can't find a use for them. I've been cleaning out so its one of my stops anyway. They are such a good source of protein that I wanted to give them a fair shake :-)

    I have a special recipe for tuna that makes it taste quite a bit like shrimp cocktail. It is my own concoction. Now it's the only way I like tuna.
    1 tin tuna
    bit of diced onion
    1 celery stalk diced
    2 tablespoons ketchup
    1 teaspoon horseradish
    2 tablespoons *kitten* brand sweet chili sauce for chicken.
    stir and eat.

    I like to mold it into tuna cakes with a little egg, scallion, and pan sear.

    I take a can of tuna and mix it with veggies, horseradish, and a tablespoon of salad dressing. I also add some seasonings like garlic powder or non-salt seasoning. Yum!

    This could also be good in bell peppers with some cheese sprinkled on top and baked in the oven.

    i like tuna mixed with a tbsp of low fat mayo and a tsp of english mustard then served with thinly sliced cucumber and a little bit of this delicious salad from skinny taste. http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/06/southwestern-black-bean-salad.html I just omit the avocado (don't like it and its less calories) and use black eyed beans instead of black beans. I use this salad recipe a lot. Even the hubby loves it!
