Tuna Burgers Recipe (Air Fryer+)

By

These tuna burgers are a nice way to change things up on burger night. Soft, mild and tasty, these will go with just about any toppings you care to enjoy on your burger.

Mini Chef and I tend to do turkey burgers a lot around here. They make an easy dinner with minimal time spent in the kitchen. But that can get old sometimes, so I will sometimes switch them out with tuna burgers instead.

Mini Chef likes his on a whole grain bun, and I enjoy mine in a lettuce wrap. Even a cabbage leaf is pretty tasty here!

One of four Tuna Burgers sits on a white plate topped with a slice of tomato and a slice of red onion, atop a whole grain burger bun.

HOW TO MAKE TUNA BURGERS

The concepts is the same as making any burger. However with these, you have a few more additions than most burgers. Essentially you are just going to mix everything together in a large mixing bowl (use your hands, it’s easiest), and then form your patties and cook them. The main trick is to be sure that your patties are flat and even for even cooking. These remain a bit soft in the middle, so you want to be sure the egg is fully cooked despite the softer texture.

The recipe below calls for air frying. I just got a new air fryer and I’m absolutely in love with it. It has completely replaced my oven, which is great for summer! But that doesn’t mean you can’t make these other ways. Once you have the initial patties made, you can cook them any way you like. Here are some tips.

BAKED BURGERS

If you prefer to bake your tuna burgers, you can do that too. Bake them at 375 F. for about 20 minutes. Check them with a meat thermometer to be sure they are done. Remember, your tuna is already cooked, so you’re just making sure the egg is fully cooked. Again you’ll want to make sure your patties are flat and even.

GRILLED BURGERS

You can cook these on the grill with no problem. But the same rule applies for even cooking. Make sure they are flat and even all the way across.

Calories: 157 kcal

Author: The Gracious Pantry

Ingredients

  • 8 oz. canned tuna (drained)

  6. Build your burger as you usually would and serve.

13 Proven Health Benefits of Turmeric

Years ago, I had a bad fall and injured my tailbone. It was one of the WORST pains I’d ever experienced. All the nerves surrounding my spine and lower back felt like they were on FIRE…Yoouuch!!! I was traveling for work at the time, and had to be pumped full of morphine just to get on the plane back home. I was bedridden for 3 weeks and miserable. I desperately tried every natural remedy I knew about to bring down the inflammation… and some things worked better than others. One of the most effective herbal supplements I took was a daily turmeric supplement . Thankfully, after several more weeks of turmeric supplements, acupuncture, and taking it easy, my tailbone had a full recovery. This was the first time I experienced for myself how powerful turmeric is. I’ve since learned that turmeric is even more amazing, and that it is literally PACKED with health benefits that can improve your skin, your heart, your mood, and even your waistline! To show you how remarkable this spice...
