Tuna Veggie Burgers and Creamy Lemon Dill Sauce

I whipped these up for dinner and they were so good. Very moist with all of the vegetables in them. Sometimes that seems to be the problem with tuna burgers-they get very dry. Not these! My boys like them with ketchup but I like them plain or with my Creamy Lemon Dill Sauce. Serve alone or on a bun with all the fixin's.

Tuna Veggie Burgers

2 cans tuna, drained
1/3 cup bread crumbs
1/3 cup dry oats
3 Tbsp. ground flax seeds, optional (I store my flax seeds in the freezer and grind just what I need at the time in a little spice/coffee grinder. You can also buy ground flax seed packaged.)
1 egg
1 zucchini, grated
1 carrot, grated
1 tsp. Mrs. Dash Onion and Herb (or favorite seasoning)
1/2 tsp. dry dill
salt and pepper to taste

Mix well and drop onto preheated skillet greased with non-stick cooking spray or olive oil. I often use my electric skillet. I use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop out the tuna mixture, drop onto hot skillet, and slightly spread/flatten to about 1/2 inch thickness. 1/4 cup scoop makes 8 burgers. Cook on med-low heat (or 325 degrees on the electric skillet) for about 5-7 minutes on each side. I usually put the lid on while it's cooking on the first side and then uncover for the second side. Serve warm.

Creamy Lemon Dill Sauce
1/4 cup mayo
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 tsp. dill
1/4 tsp. Mrs. Dash Garlic & Herb, optional
1/2-1 tsp. lemon juice

Mix well and slather on top of burgers!
