Low-Fatty Patties: Tender Tuna Burgers

I would like to share an occasional recipe, healthy of course and easy to prepare. While others in our family enjoy a Hamburger, I also enjoy an alternative to that...such as A turkey burger or fish. I found this recipe in a fun cookbook of mine called Crazy Plates by Janet and Greta Podleski. All low fat foods that taste great. These are wonderful Tuna Burger. I splurged and purchased fresh tuna from Whole foods and they were outstanding. I do recommend using a fresh tuna steak though instead of tuna from the can. Enjoy!!!
1 1/2 pounds fresh tuna steaks
1/2 c. unseasoned, dry bread crumbs
1/4 c. each minced green onions and grated carrots
1 tbsp each reduced sodium soy sauce, grated gingerroot and chopped, fresh cilantro
1 egg
1 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp each salt and black pepper
6 hamburger buns
Lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and your favorite burger toppings (optional)

* Cut tuna steaks into chunks and place in a food processor. Pulse on and off until tuna is chopped into very small pieces. (If you don't have a food processor, use a very sharp knife and mince the tuna by hand) Transfer to a large bowl. Add all remaining ingredients. Mix Well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. (this is where you can prepare the 'other' burgers for your family)
* Form mixture into 6 patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Grill or broil patties for about 4 minutes per side, until cooked through. Be careful not to overcook. Serve on hamburger rolls with low fat burger toppings such as lettuce, tomatoes, hones mustard and ketchup.
Make 6 burgers.
