The best kind of dinners are the ones that come together in less than half an hour and I have got just the one for you today! These tuna patties are SO easy to make and are full of flavor, with just the right amount of spiciness they’re the perfect addition to any burger.

Made with canned tuna, sweet onions, and ripe tomatoes, they’re kicked up a notch with fresh cilantro, jalapeño, and a smoky twist from my favorite Kinders Woodfired Garlic Seasoning (seriously I use this on everything, it’s becoming a bad addiction). A blend of cumin, chili powder, and a hint of turmeric gives them a warm, savory depth, while a squeeze of lemon juice adds the slightest burst of tanginess.

Perfection really.

Let’s get started!

Drain the water from a tuna can and squeeze out any excess with a paper towel. In a mixing bowl, add the tuna, onion, tomato, cilantro, jalapeño, cumin, chili powder, kinder’s garlic seasoning, salt, turmeric, and lemon juice.

Mix until well combined. Using your hands to combine it really helps in bringing out the flavor, trust me. Then add in the egg and mix until it comes together.

Form 2 flat patties, if they fall apart, mix in some breadcrumbs to help them stay in shape.

Drizzle some olive oil on a skillet over medium high heat. Transfer the patties and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes on each side. Remove from heat.

Assemble your burger and enjoy!
