This is one of the best high protein snacks around.
I came up with it myself out of need for a very simple, quick high protein recipe that was made with real food.
The ingredients couldn’t be simpler:
- Tuna
- Eggs
That’s it.
It works better with tuna in brine, as opposed to oil. By the way, squeeze the brine out of the tuna to make it very dry before starting.
(1) Take a tin of tuna
(2) Add 2 eggs and whisk together until gooey.
(3) Heat a non-stick skillet and pour on the mixture, makes 2 tuna patties. Allow to brown on each side but don’t cook them until they are dry right through. They taste better when still moist in the middle.
I like salsa with these, but experiment with different sauces. You can also add a seasoning of your choice or cheese to the mixture before cooking for a variation in flavor and texture.
This is an extremely easy and tasty way to get about 40 grams of quality protein in your daily diet.
Enjoy!

Mine don’t look as good as those in the pic but they taste great. I’ve seen other tuna burgers with carbs added to the tuna, I was happy to see this recipe. Thanks Mark, and nice job on the website as well.

Obviously you arent putting these on a typical hamburger bun, are you just eating this by itself?
Mark McManus
No bun Chas - just the tuna goodness.

seam
Are normal hamburgers without buns ok or are they junk food?

I hade no tuna, but a couple of tins of sardines instead and its tastes great. Suppose this would work with tinned salmon too.
