Quick and easy & everybody in my family liked it and asked for more. The burgers had a way better texture than the ones what require flour or heaps of bread crumbs.

Great idea, came together quickly, tastes fantastic! I did sub 3/4 C. panko bread crumbs for the crumbs/bread cubes...for seasoning, used Everglades Fish & Chicken seasoning but omitted the salt/pepper...fried in butter, too...A funny thing, I put the lettuce & tomatoes on plate & drizzled with a drizzle of Pomegranate Vinaigrette, some got on the tuna and it really was good! Thanks, MareLou, for sharing your recipe...:)

I cooked this for my family tonight and they loved it. I didn't add the celery and it still came out great.

I usually don't really care for tuna, but I LOVED this recipe! I was very pleasantly surprised given the short list of ingredients, and expected these to be dry once prepared....however, they were very flavorful and enjoyed by all my family, including my picky 1&1/2 year old toddler! I doubled the recipe to make 8 tuna burgers. I did not have tuna pouches, so used 2, 5 ounce cans of tuna. I used 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 1/4 tsp each of salt and pepper. I was concerned after mixing all the other ingredients that adding the day-old bread would dry these patties out too much, so I omitted that ingredient. I fried the mixture by 1/4 cupful and flattened in the frying pan. They cooked up beautifully about 2-3 minutes on each side. This will become a regular menu item in this house! Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipe!

So good! I only had canned tuna (5 oz) so I just did one can plus 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (no bread). It was delicious. I served it without a bun, on top of a salad made of wild greens, dried cranberries, and raspberry vinaigrette. This is definitely going to become a regular meal around here.

I used canned tuna and this was not good. Other than that, I followed the instructions and it was not working for me. My husband liked it, but I think one could follow the same recipe using fresh tuna? Maybe give a good mince so it can be pattied? and this recipe needs acid

Only had canned tuna (5 oz) so I just cut the other ingredients down a bit. The only bread I had was rye so it was a bit bold, but worked. Instead of blowing up the fat/calorie content with cheese & a bun, I simply topped with lemon juice & I can say this was one of the best burgers I have ever had. This will be a regular in my kitchen.

I made this using one regular can of tuna that I crumbled up, and I think they turned out pretty good! The taste is pretty mild, so you could always add more onion (or whatever) if you want more flavor. I didn't have any day-old bread so I used the bottoms of two hamburger buns, since those are more dry than the bread I do have. One mistake I made with the first pattie, though, is that I formed it into a pattie and THEN placed it into the pan. It fell apart immediately, so then with the other 3, I rolled them into a ball, placed into the pan and then flattened with a spatula. Those held together quite well. Also, because these contain egg and I made them for my toddler, I put a lid on the pan to ensure that the egg was cooked thoroughly. I'll definitely make these again. Can't wait to see how my toddler will like them. I had to force myself to not eat his! :P

Very very good and held together perfectly while frying. I doubled the recipe and added a bit of dill but otherwise left it alone. Made these for a friend for lunch that doesn't eat meat on Fridays and she loved them as well!

WOW! I have never had a tuna burger and this was scrumptious. Looking for something to make on Good Friday when I can't have meat and this came up as a suggestion. I didn't have onions so I used onion salt (apparently turned out too salty for my boyfriend, so I know to use real onions next time), but I still liked it. I added some lemon juice and a little panko crumbs to the mix for some extra crunch and flavor. YUMMY!! Can't wait to share with the rest of the fam!
