Tuna Burgers

"Life can't be about all beef. "Where's The Beef?" questions are fewer nowadays due to an influx of health concerns, as well as those that are watching their weight. The Longmeadow Farm is following suit and will openly and warmly embrace these new "burgers" to grace our "Saturday Lunch at the Farm" crowd. I wanted to produce a light(ish) tuna burger that made Dennis, Jerry, Uncle Dick, and my Dad feel as light as a Spring beetle floating around on a wind current after lunch. This recipe did it. Everyone was full, but not so full they wanted to clamber off to the backyard hammock, and pull their hat over their face. This gave them enough energy to have their giddy-up for all the many maelstroms that would undoubtedly follow them around for the afternoon. Go ahead, try them "Maryland" style with the use of our beloved "Old Bay Seasoning" and get ready to work hard this afternoon. Can be easily doubled for a big crowd."

  1. I wasn't sure if the recipe called for dill or sweet pickle relish so I tried it both ways. I prefer the dill, but that's just me. That being said this is a very nice recipe.
     
  2. This was a very good Tuna Burger. Will make again. Thanks for posting.
     
  3. Made this for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup tag game and I am so glad I did. I made as instructed only adding a little more bread crumbs and pressing in some panko before frying. I did let my patties set in the fridge till dinner time and I served them over a mixed green salad for DH and I and skipped the hamburger bun. Definately a keeper and going into my Favorites of 2013.
     
  4. Well, I was looking for something different to make for supper. This is an excellent change from the same old supper. Very Good recipe! I will definately make these again. Thanks for sharing.
     
  5. These were very flavorful, I doubled the recipe and ended up using more breadcrumbs because the mixture was too wet. I would make these again, thanks for posting :O)
