Canned Tuna Recipes?

[Barenfang]

throw down two pieces of bread... slap some mayo on those warlocks, maybe a little pepper and mustard. BAM! You got a high quality lunch right there.

Tuna with salsa is one of the best easiest meals IMO.

Tuna Patties

Ingredients:
1 can of Tuna (The kind in water)
1/4 cup of shreaded onions
1/4 cup of shreaded carrots
1 small clove of garlic
Finely diced parsley
1 raw egg
Olive oil
Grated Cheese (Amount varies depending on how much you like cheese!)

Step 1:
Drain 90% of the water out of the tuna and place the tuna in a mixing bowl along with 1 raw egg.

Add grated carrots, onions, parsley and dice your garlic clove up and add it as well (I usually only put 1/2 a garlic clove in)

Add pepper and a generous amount of paprika to your mixture now (to taste).

Step 2:

With your "Clean" hands mix everything together and make sure everything is well mixxed.

Form two patties out of the mixture and place on a plate.

Step 3:

Heat up a fry pan placing a bit of olive oil on the bottom and place your patties on the pan for cooking. When you see that they have browned flip them over and place as much cheese as you want on them.

Pull them off the fry pan when the other side has browned.

Step 4:

I make sandwhiches out of mine but you can eat the patties the way they are. Its something a bit different and tastes great.

Great recipes guys. I personally love it no matter how it's prepared. I mostly eat it right out of the can. I don't understand how some people can not like it, its FISH. TUNA at that. I dunno I just love all meat (no homo, HA).

[CaptainSteak1]

those tuna patties sound great. i'md def trying them seeing as how i hate tuna.

[leedsjack93]

Can of tuna, drained.

Throw in a frying pan with a teaspoon olive oil. Fry for a couple of minutes.

Crack an egg or two (whole) into a bowl, with some extra whites. Use as many eggs as your calories/macros require.

Whisk the eggs and then pour them over the tuna in the frying pan. Turn heat to low and cook for 5 or so minutes. Flip and cook for another few minutes, until it is thoroughly cooked.

And there you have it, a large tuna patty. You could eat it like an omelette or cut it into bits and use as a sandwich filler.

High protein delight. I eat it as an omelette before bed lots of the time.

mix in some hot sauce i prefer Franks Red HOT, and mustard and a tad bit of ketchup and throw it on a slice of bread its delicous

[JeffR88]

I eat this same lunch almost every day

1 can of tuna
3 tbsp non fat plain greek yogurt
2 tbsp spicy salsa
1 tbsp mustard
1 large chopped mushroom
4 olives chipped
1 green onion chopped

mix it all in a bowl and add some garlic powder and some mrs. dash


has little to no fat, high protein, and you get some veggies in. I usually crisp up 2 slices of ezikeal bread and spread it on like crackers.....I've been doing this for the last 3 months and i'm still no bored of it.

good ideas guys, i need to follow this thread. (eating it straight out of the can or just mixing w/ mayo is getting pretty old) anyone put ketchup in it? everyone says it sounds gross but its damn good

those tuna patties sound awesome. 'ill try them out tonight
Edit- wrong quote w/e sounds good to

[Jeclavad]

Tuna
yogurth
mustard (optional)
lemon juice
pepper

Or something simple yet delicious (at least for me)
Tuna
Ananas

[MikeK46]

I nearly threw up about 3 times reading some of ya'lls suggestions; can you say stomachs of steel-- or possibly ghetto/projects?

or maybe they live by the motto "don't let your taste buds run your life and ruin your goals"

mentally, I love eating food that my body loves, even if it doesn't taste like the main course at a 5 star restaurant.

[AniMaLizTik]

2 cans tuna
1 can crab meat
old bay seasoning
salad greens
walden farms cal free dressing



best seafood salad you'll ever eat and 99% protein

[B14JOSH]

I just recently tried mixing it with about 1-2tbsp of lite honey mustard, almost no fat in the dressing, and it gives it a good taste. I will use this on a can of tuna and throw it on some bread .

[CheatMeal]

I don't eat much tuna anymore, but when I do something with canned tuna, it's usually going to be one of the following:

1. Tuna Cakes. Pretty much the same recipe as what i read here, but I make it kinda like crab cakes. I use bread crumbs/old cornbread, old bay, worchestershire, and chop some onions or bell peppers. You can bake or broil these until golden brown if you want instead of cooking it in a pan.

2. Sweet Tuna salad. It's kinda like waldorf chicken salad (Though not as good). It's light and fruity. A little mayo, sliced grapes, pineapple etc. I'll eat it wrapped in lettuce. It's good when it's hot outside.

3. Tuna Melt. nuff' said.

4. Tuna spread. I'll put the canned tuna in a food processor with a bunch of other stuff and blend. It's the best way i know of to change the flavor of canned tuna by changing its texture.

5. Tuna Tetranzini. I was going to leave this out, because my recipe is full of heavy cream and butter and it's real hard to fit it with my macros

TUNA AND AVOCADO!

creamy lucious goodness!

a little green salsa or jalapenos for a little kick

Hi

I was wondering if anyone had any low fat Canned Tuna recipes that dont include mayo or cheese.

Thank's

i just have it with some tomato pasta sauce and then have some chopped up peppers to use like spoons to eat it with seems to do the trick for me

[addictR3]

may sounds strange to some but..

Tuna in Oil with nuts.. best thing ever.

Get one of those 2 serving cans of tuna in Olive oil, get some almonds or any nut and mix them in, kinda tricky but use your forks to lift the tuna up and get the nuts under haha so good. OK sorry! peace.

[TheBigA]

Tried these out guys loved the nuts thing and Salsa thing and adding eggs and the pattys were great. But still looking for some real tasty Tuna recipes if anyone has any they would like to share please do

[BattsLM]

1 can of Tuna
1 chopped boiled egg
couple table spoons of sweet relish
mustard


Mix and enjoy..

I usually have this with an apple on the side.

[fad3d]

Pretty much every day I drain a can and mix a dollop of dijon and some mild hot sauce in and eat up

[defleaner]

**** i've had it plain for a long time.

now i'm adding lemon, red peppers, salt.

but i'll deff try some honey mustard.

btw, won't you be wasting protein by getting rid of the water?

I always drink it.

[dnold55]

tuna
1 tbsp mayo
good amount of mustard
relish
salt + pepper
cheese is a possibility, too many calories for me though

[DREhova 87]

my favorite canned tuna recipe....

Stare at the can and eat my pop tarts.

[Yank11]

i love tuna, so I normally just eat it right out of the can but heres a recipe I make sometimes. it has mayo but if you use light mayo, its only 35 calories so you can fit it into your macros easily


1 can tuna in water, drained (180 cal)
1 tbsp light mayo (35 cal)
1 tbsp sweet relish (~10 cal?)
lemon juice till you get desired consistency
oregano, salt, pepper to taste

only about 225 calories there, sometimes put it on bread or in a wrap depending on your macros too

[McJimmie]

UK again.

For spicy, try Reggae Reggae sauce in tuna.

Also try with a load of pickled red cabbage (sounds horrible, goes a strange colour, but very very tasty)
