Tuna Melt Patty Recipe
Ingredients:
1 6-ounce canned water-packed tuna, drained
1 egg white, beaten
2 T. oatmeal (quick or regular)
2 T. onion, diced (or ¼ tsp. Onion powder)
¼ tsp. Garlic powder
Salt or salt substitute and pepper to taste
2 T. reduced-fat mozzarella (optional)
Directions:
Mix all ingredients except cheese together in a small bowl. Heat a small nonstick frying pan over medium heat and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Make two small patties by spooning half the tuna mixture into each side of the pan and lightly pressing with fork to flatten into a patty. Cook until both sides are brown. Top with one tablespoon cheese and serve alone, on top of light bread, or with your sides of choice (a bed of shredded lettuce adds NO carbs, and very few calories!)
