Instructions

Step 1 – Grind the crackers in a high-speed blender. I used a baked, gluten-free cracker, but crunchy crackers will do. You can also use gluten-free or regular Panko.

Step 2 – Chop the Tuna into Small Pieces, ensuring no large pieces. Break up the canned tuna with a fork. Finely Chop Onions, Celery, and Red Bell Pepper. Whisk Eggs. Squeeze the Juice of half a Lemon. Step 3 – Assemble Patties

Mix all ingredients for the Tuna Patties in a large bowl until well combined.

Scoop 1/2 Cup of Mixture into your hand, roll, and press into a Tuna Burger shape.

Place Tuna Patties on a Plate and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.

While Tuna Patties are in the refrigerator, prepare the homemade Slaw.

Step 3 – Saute Tuna Patties in Olive Oil

Preheat a non-stick frying pan to medium-low heat.

Add 1-2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil.

Saute Tuna Patties for approximately 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Turn Tuna Patties carefully with a large spatula and spoon flipping gently.

Remove from heat and serve with Coleslaw.

Top Patties with Mayo and Scallions or offer on the side!
