Tuna patties

[tigress]

This is not a recipe that I developed, but it's too good not to share.

FAT FREE TUNA PATTIES

1 tin of tuna packed in water
1/4 cup onion, chopped into little bits
1/4 cup celery, chopped up nice and small
2 egg whites
1/4 bag of Quaker Rice Cakes Mini's (Cheddar flavor) crushed into "breadcrumbs" (I put them into a zip lock bag, sealed it and then pounded the hell out of them with my meat tenderizer hammer)

I mixed all this stuff together while I preheated the frying pan, sprayed with Pam. I made bite size patties (about the same size and the mini rice cakes) and fried them up until they were golden brown.

Once cooked, we tried adding:

-lemon juice
-vinegar
-tabasco sauce
-seafood sauce
-cayenne pepper

and ALL were delicious!

I highly recommend this if you diet allows these ingredients.


Breakdown:

Tuna = 35g protein
2 Eggs whites = 6.8g protein
1/4 bag rice cakes = 20g carbs

ZERO fat!

I usually double the recipe, and take leftovers the next day to work.

Also works with ranch and other flavors of rice cakes. And I like dipping in ketchup.

Ditto!! I usually just dump it out the bag (Albacore) or can add pepper, egg whites, and pop in the nuke for a minute.

Since I don't have any rice patties, I tried tuna, egg whites,
onion powder and tons of pepper. Nuked it and hmmmmmmmm,
loved it! I didn't think you could you do that with tuna.

Thanx.

as a young aspiring emeril lagasse, i must admit i have never seen a recipe for tuna patties. i know how to hook up salmon patties, i guess it wouldn't be too bad huh! great recipe!

Tried these a couple days ago...They were really good. Nice to have a different tuna taste. Eating straight out of the can gets old real quick....

Just thinking the same thing.

The best I got was tuna, onions, pepper and mustard... depending what time you eat it I would either use whole wheat and some pam.... like a grill cheese! Or mixed in a bowl with just cheese and nuke it. Lately its just been mixed in a bowl because I try real real hard not two eat carbs after 3 the latest.

Im gonna try this

My husband made this the other day, and we had no rice cakes, so he crushed up tortilla chips and used that instead. He gave it 2 thumbs up.

I just made some of these.

well ok i cheated a bit, i used just a touch of corn meal and no oil and fried it up in a skillet. It tastes awesome and i can trade that for any other carbs for my day.

Not for keto peeps but it really tastes like a good old fashion salmond patty or something some of us texas boys are used to eating.
