MAKE AHEAD TUNA BURGERS

Make Ahead Tuna Burgers image

These are some of the world's best tuna burgers. I came up with the idea when I had some tuna in my pantry and needed to use it up. I just threw the ingriedents into a big bowl, mixed it up, made some patties, and sauteed them in butter. And what came out was one of the best recipes I had yet to make. ENJOY!
