Recipe of the Week: Fried Tuna Burgers 

The following recipe for Fried Tuna Burgers is from SurvivalBlog reader E.J.. She says: “Do you have cases of tuna that are near their expiration date? These tuna burger patties are a quick and easy alternative to fish sticks. These can be served as patties, between hamburger buns, or between slices of toasted bread.”

Ingredients

• 2 cans of light tuna, drained
• 1 cup crushed dried bread crumbs
• ¼ cup dehydrated onion flakes
• 3 eggs, or rehydrated equivalent of powdered eggs
• ½ tsp. lemon pepper (or less, to suit your taste)
• Flour (to coat patties)
• Your preferred frying oil — I use olive oil

Directions

1. Mix drained tuna, bread crumbs, egg, onion flakes, and lemon pepper.
2. Divide into golf ball-sized portions.
3. Hand press these into burger-like patties.
4. Dip both sides in flour.
5. Heat oil to medium heat and gently place patties into your frying pan.
6. After one side is done, turn and finish cooking.
