Ingredients

2 (6-ounce) cans solid white tuna, drained
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1 tablespoon chopped pimento, optional

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine the tuna, bread crumbs, and egg, and stir lightly. Add the onion, celery, pimento (if using), lemon juice, horseradish, garlic, and pepper, and mix again.

Delicious with a few changes
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a great recipe but I found with a few changes and additions it is even better. Firstly I added a few chopped capers... and jalapenos to the tuna. I also added a crust to the patty by putting it in flour, egg wash then panko. And finally finished off the burger with a ginger-wasabi butter sauce. Read more

So easy & so good. Paula... you rock!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The pimento is a must! Also added Worcestershire sauce per one reviewers comment. Great addition! Added a couple dashes of... old bay seasoning, extra horseradish (like it spicy!) Topped with a slice of cheese, spinach, tomato, on a whole wheat bun. Perfection! Read more

Not Good
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I usually love all of Paula's recipes but this one was not good. Very bland and fell apart when I tried to cook it. I... wasted 2 perfectly cans of tune that would have gone into my tuna noodle salad. Will not try this one again.Read more

Very Yummy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These cakes were very yummy! They were moist and flavorful without using any mayo or other creamy sauce. I had mine with... lemon squeezed on it and some tomato diced up. My boyfriend had his on a toasted bun with fixings like a burger. I will definately make this again and again!Read more

really good tuna burgers
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These tuna burgers were really good. Instead of using plain breadcrumbs, I used Italian breadcrumbs, which gave the burgers... a lot more flavor. The pimientos are a must. They were a little difficult to flip in the frying pan. I didn't make the avocado dressing since my husband doesn't like avocado, so I used mayonnaise on the bun instead. It was fine. Read more

Tasteless
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I really like most of Paula's receipes but this one was not good at all. My daughter and I thought it had no flavor. It was... missing something but I can't put my finger on it. I really liked that you used can Tuna. I am going to try a good crab cake receipe and try it with the canned Tuna.Read more
