My grandmother and mother made these tuna patties on Fridays during Lent. I'm not the biggest fan of tuna, but it's perfect in this dish. These patties are even good cold the next day, if there are any leftovers. -Ann Marie Eberhart, Gig Harbor, Washington

TUNA FISH PATTIES



Tuna Fish Patties image

This is a great recipe I came up with to get rid of leftover bread. I generally use the contents of my vegetable drawer here so I kind of throw in whatever I have at the time, so you can use your own judgment. They taste really nice when eaten with sour cream or low-fat mayo or even on their own - though my husband prefers ketchup. I generally use this recipe as a guideline, so have fun with it!

TASTY TUNA PATTIES



Tasty Tuna Patties image

If you're ever pressed for time, start with a couple cans of tuna and you'll have a delicious patty in no time that you can serve a number of different ways. Add them to buns with your favorite toppings for sandwiches, serve them alongside a fresh salad, or make smaller versions of them and serve them as appetizers with tartar sauce on the side. There are a lot of great flavor elements in these easy and versatile patties, but the quantities are small so the flavor still comes out pretty mild. If you're looking for a stronger flavor, increase quantities as you like!

JESSICA'S FAMOUS TUNA PATTIES



Jessica's Famous Tuna Patties image

These amazing baked tuna patties were discovered when the kids were hungry and it was the night before grocery day! I had to do what I could with what we had to avoid getting a "We want (fill in the blank with a fast food restaurant)!" protest from the kids. I made these babies off the top of my head and they were an instant hit. The kids loved them, I loved them, and I was easily able to hide the carrots in them from my husband, so he loved them too!
