"This is Bridget Jones with Situp Brittan Searching for Tuna...."

Tuna was not my favorite growing up, but its easy to work with, affordable, and really can be transformed in lots of different dishes. Since its summer lets give beef a break!

Burger:
4 5oz cans of Tuna*
2-3 Stalks of Celery chopped
1/4 of Purple Onion
3-4 Tablespoons of Mayo
1/2 Tsp Paprika
1/4 Tsp dry mustard
1/4 Cup almond flour/meal
Salt and pepper to taste
1 Clove Garlic Minced
1/4 Tsp Ginger Minced
1 Tsp Sesame Oil

Mix all ingredients except oil and form 4-6 patties. In pan, heat up oil over a medium heat, place patties in pan and cook for 4 minutes and flip. Be careful when flipping they don't hold together well.Cook for another 4 min.  Remove from heat and enjoy!  Wrap in romaine, tomato, and/or avocado for a real 'burger' experience. I liked mine with a little mayo and wasabi. You could even go back to my very first post and use the Jalapeno Ponzu. Make a bed of greens, tear up the burger and top with Ponzo for an Asian inspired salad. Possibilities are endless!

*Check your labels
*Yes I was watching Bridget Jones Diary while typing this and other tuna line was not exactly WFS.
