Why These Are Versatile Quick Healthy Tuna Burgers
Let me explain just what I mean by adaptable and versatile.
You see, these quick healthy tuna burgers are ideal for your BBQ too.
That is of course if you’re lucky enough to be able to BBQ!
Nope, Lady Lynne and I still haven’t been able to get the BBQ out once this year. 😮
Now, there’s been some days of good weather during the week where it’s been perfectly possible. But the last thing I want to do after a 9 hour day at work is haul the BBQ out of the garden shed!
So, we look forward to the weekend, with hope in our hearts. It could be this weekend for the annual BBQ. Please let it be this weekend…..
Alas, then of course it’s raining. Ha ha! 😆
But I’m not going to let the weather get me down.
This is why these quick healthy tuna burgers are adaptable and versatile. If you’re able to BBQ them outdoors, then great! It not, shallow fry then indoors, in just a little oil!

When are you and Lady Lynne moving into Balmoral ;D I love tuna burgers–I usually add mustard and dill to mine 😀 YUMMERS

I’m not so much into the dill, but I’m all there with adding the mustard to these to give them an extra “kick” GREAT!

Joyce @ The Hungry Caterpillar
Yum! I love how simple this is. I love making salmon burgers and topping them with mayonnaise, but tuna also has the good fats, and it’s cheaper, too!

Thanks Joyce. I love a good salmon burger too, but for me it’s without the mayonnaise. 🙂
