Tuna Burgers

[Pennsy Guy]

I use the tails of the loins(1-2") & various chunks from steaking.

1 lb. tuna*

1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs

1/3 cup each of chopped celery, onion & carrots

1 large egg

1/3-1/2 cup mayonnaise

2-3 tbsp. Old Bay seasoning

2-3 tbsp. lemon/lime juice

*2 cans Albacore tuna or fresh caught, boiled, then ground (I use an old hand crank grinder with the medium grind blade).

Sauté celery, onion & carrot on medium high heat 'til soft.

Combine tuna, bread crumbs, celery, onion, carrot & egg. In a separate bowl blend the mayonnaise, Old Bay & lemon/lime juice. then stir into first mixture until fully mixed.

Hand form into 1" thick patties, fry in oil 'til heated through and browned on both sides. (optional) Add slice of cheese(your choice) to top of burger to melt. Serve on bun or as is with whatever else you want.
