Super-Healthy Tuna Burgers with Lemon-Garlic Mayonnaise

By iqspam

Make healthy burgers out of canned tuna, and spice them up with a lemon garlic mayonnaise! Use whole wheat sandwich thins and low fat mayonnaise to bring this down to 250 calories per burger.

• 35 ounces canned tuna, drained (see note)
• 1 bunch scallion, thinly sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 8 whole wheat hamburger buns
• ¹⁄₂ cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons garlic
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

To Make:

1. Sautee garlic in pan until brown.
2. Combine garlic, lemon juice and mayonnaise.
3. Combine tuna, scallions, bell pepper and eggs in a bowl.
4. Separate tuna mixture into 8 patties.
5. Grill patties.
6. Put a patty on each sandwich thin with about a tbsp of the mayonnaise mixture.

Note: You may want to put the tuna in a sieve with something heavy on top for a couple of hours to get it to drain, otherwise it's harder to get these burgers to stick together.
