Thai-Style Tuna Burgers

This pick for the July Sweet as Pie menu was made by our gust picker, my friend Sarah.  Phillip was really excited about this one, and although I’m not generally a big fan of tuna, I must say that I was intrigued as well.  Here’s how these Thai-Style Tuna Burgers came together:

First, I combined mayo and ginger (I used the stuff in the tube from the produce section).  A couple of tablespoons of this mixture went into the burger bowl, while the rest was set aside for a condiment.  JBD_7807

Next, I mixed together eggs, panko, green onions, fish sauce (which sounds gross, but actually blends really well with other Asian flavors), and chili sauce before adding in two cans of tuna.  I actually already had all of this on hand, except for the tuna.JBD_7808 JBD_7815

I formed the mixture into four patties and placed them on a baking sheet.JBD_7816

After about 10 minutes in the oven, the burgers were ready!  JBD_7819

We put ours on rolls with the reserved ginger mayo and some arugula.JBD_7820

This was a really easy recipe and if there are people in your house that love tuna, it’s worth a try.  I was even able to eat most of mine!  If you’re not a fan of ginger, you may want to go easy on or omit the ginger mayo – it was a bit overpowering (that worked out fine for me, but Phillip was looking for more of a tuna taste).
