Super Simple Tuna Cakes & Tarter Sauce image

this recipe will feed an elegant crowd or a hungry family. The idea to use stuffing came from a magazine article a few years ago, I kept tweaking it around and got this. I love it as a quick go-to dish when I have forgotten to thaw something for dinner, it's very pantry-friendly!
