Lemon Garlic Tuna Burger


275.3 Calories per Burger 


New favorite!! I absolutely loved these tuna burgers! They reminded me of the tuna patties that my grandmother used to make for me when I was little. I think I'd even like to eat just the "burger" without the English muffin. I served garlic potato "fries" with the burgers and it was a great rounded meal. The hubs enjoyed it too which is always a plus :) 

Ingredients: 
2, 6 oz cans tuna fish, drained and flaked
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon each, salt and pepper
juice of half a lemon
3 tablespoons sour cream
1 egg
4 English muffins (use the multi-grain light version for fewer calories)
4 leaves romaine
1 small tomato, sliced

Directions:
Combine tuna, bread crumbs, green onion, parsley, garlic, salt, pepper, lemon, sour cream, and egg, and mix well with your hands. Form into 4 patties (they will be wet), place on a greased baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees F. Serve the burgers on toasted English muffins with romaine and sliced tomato. Spread additional sour cream on each burger, if desired.
