Tuna Patties
Tuna patties are known for their crispy exterior and tender, flavorful interior, a combination that makes them a joy to eat. They can be easily customized with spices, herbs, and even vegetables, so they never get boring. Plus, they’re an excellent alternative to traditional beef or chicken patties if you’re looking to incorporate more seafood into your diet.
These patties bring bold flavor, healthy fats, and an impressive protein profile to the table. They are quick, versatile, and incredibly satisfying.
Another great thing about tuna patties is that they’re very budget friendly. Canned tuna, the most common choice, is affordable and readily available, making it a practical protein option for those trying to eat healthy on a budget. You can use tuna packed in oil or water, it’s really a matter of personal preference.
