Ingredients
- 12 oz Canned tuna in water
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium Garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 Whole grain buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato, sliced
Directions
Step 1
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer it to a mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add the rolled oats, egg, chopped red onion, minced garlic, fresh parsley, lemon zest, and black pepper to the bowl with the tuna.
Step 3
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined. The mixture should be moist but hold together when formed into a ball.
Step 4
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, add the tuna patties to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the patties are golden brown and heated through.
Step 7
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Step 8
Toast the whole grain buns lightly, if desired.
Step 9
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a tuna patty, a few slices of tomato, and the top half of the bun.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, low sodium tuna burger!
