Found this on the Allrecipes website. I would recommend using a high quality teriyaki sauce, some can be way too salty. These are a great lower-fat alternative to the traditional beef burger.

2 (6 ounce) cans solid white tuna, flaked

1 medium onion, dices small
1/3 cup seasoned dry bread crumb, for the mix
1/2 cup breadcrumbs, on the side for coating

  • Preheat pan on medium with Pam.
  • Form a patty with your hands and coat both sides of it with breadcrumbs.
  • Place the patty in a preheated fry pan.
