I have a boatload of canned tuna packed in water. Usually I boil some whole wheat pasta and toss in some tuna. I'd like to expand my options with canned tuna...anyone have any quick recipe ideas?

    Tuna Mayo sandwich or whole meal toast spread tomato puree on it tuna on top then show low fat cheese, grill. Like cheese on toast but with more protein and very filling! I like tuna with rice or in salads.

    Sometimes I mix Tuna with Balsamico Vinegar, hardboiled Eggs, cut Celery or Onions, and cut Tomatoes and/or corn and eat that on sandwich bread.

    Mix Tuna fish with a little bit of olive oil mayo, garlic and onion powder, and salt and pepper. Then I usually mix with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, olives, and sometimes some goat cheese or other veggies to have a nice, protein filled salad.

    I like to mix 1 tsp of virgin olive oil with the drained tuna and add sliced olives, red onion, smoked pepper, tomato slice,and top with a slice of low fat Swiss cheese on a slice of multi-grain muffin. Then broil until cheese is melted. Delicious

    I adore tuna sandwiches, I have one nearly every day! I mix it with a bit of light mayo and have it in seedy bread either with lettuce or raw spinach. Sometimes for dinner I mix it with mayo again and some blanched spinach and have it on top of a jacket potato.

    diced onion
    diced bell pepper (whatever colors you have)
    egg
    Mrs. Dash of your choice (or seasonings to taste)
    black pepper

    Mix all ingredients together and form into patties. Saute in a little olive oil or cooking spray. Very easy and very tasty!

    Ooh that reminds me..tuna and chickpea patties are lovely. Blend chickpeas until smooth, add tuna, egg, bit of flour if too sloppy, whatever herbs and spices you wantshape into patties. You can fry them but I suck at keeping them in one piece so just pop them in the oven on baking paper until they are browning.

    How quick are we talking? Lol.

    If you're in need of a quick dinner for more than one, I'm making tuna pot pie tonight.
    Chunk Light Tuna, 12 oz drained
    Mixed Vegetables Frozen, 1.25 Cup
    Low Sodium Cream of Mushroom , 1 can
    Mexican Four Cheese With A Touch of Philadelphia, 1/2 cup
    All Purpose Flour, 2 cup
    Crisco - All-Vegetable Shortening, 2 Tablespoon
    Egg Whites, 0.31 cup

    Servings: 4
    Calories per serving: 462

    For the dough: In a large bowl, sift together the 2-cups all purpose flour with a pinch of salt. Stir in the .31 cups egg whites and 2 tbsp vegetable shortening. Add in the 3.5 tbsp cold tap water and move the dough mixture around with a fork until its moistened. Use your hands and form it into a large ball.

    Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and roll out your dough until its an 1/8" thick. Press about half into pie pan. Roll out other half for covering.

    For the pie: Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F. Add the tuna and frozen vegetables into sauce pan over medium heat, stirring often until the vegetables are heated through, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup. Pour the tuna mixture into a 9 inch pie dish and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
    3. Pinch dough onto top of pie. Poke small air halls with fork into top. Bake 11 to 13 minutes. Let the pie sit for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting and serving.


    Of course, feel free to use pre-packaged dough to make this even easy and quicker! I am a big baker, though, so I like to make things from scratch (plus, it's easier to control sodium levels).
