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!

Tuna Rolls

This is my variation on a Chicken Roll recipe that my Mom used to make a lot. While we still love the chicken rolls, it is nice to have a bit of a variety. These are just as easy but with a different flavor. You use biscuits instead of crescent rolls for one thing. The last time I made them I had leftover Chive & Onion cream cheese that I mixed with the regular cream cheese and it was very good. I also like to make my tuna rolls a little smaller by using just one biscuit instead of two per roll. Of course you could also use your own biscuit recipe instead of the refrigerated biscuits, too. Watch out! They go fast!

Tuna Rolls


6 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 cans tuna, drained
1 cup frozen peas or peas/carrots
1/2 tsp. dill seasoning
1/8 tsp. dehydrated minced garlic (or one small clove, minced)
salt and pepper to taste
2 packages refrigerated biscuits (I use the small packages that have 10 biscuits/can so 20 total. I usually have about 4 leftover that I just cook without the filling.)


Mix softened cream cheese with tuna, peas, and seasonings. Separate biscuits. If using small biscuits, you may want to put two together and roll out into 8 or so equal portions. (Again, I usually just make mine small with only one biscuit.) Spoon equal portions of tuna mixture onto each rolled out biscuit portion and roll up and pinch seams together. Tuck ends under and place seam-side down on baking sheet. Bake at 325 degrees for 25-30 min. or until golden. Butter outside of biscuit when hot out of the oven for a softer crust, if desired.
