Tuna burgers sound amazing! I have to find Safe Catch Tuna!
Oh yes you do! It is the best! 🙂 Thanks Rachel!
I am on day 10 of my Whole30 and totally on the struggle bus. Nothing sounded good in my kitchen. I have a stack of safecatch tuna and remembered this recipe and decided to give it a try because I had all the ingredients on hand. OMG. It is sooooo good. And I topped it with your clean thousand island. Nothing else. It was amazing! It tasted like a splurge meal! I am so impressed and shocked by how good this is because I’m not even a huge canned tuna fan. Thank you for this recipe and the yummy clean thousand island sauce. You rock!
Ah Mandy that makes me so happy!! I love these too and they are such a great replacement!! Thanks so much for letting me know and stay strong – 20 more days!!!
Hello! Found you on instrgram by random and I’m over the moon! I’m just learning to cook and eat clean so your blog is a gen! Quick question: would coconut flour be an okay substitute for almond flour in this recipe? Oops I have another question: where in the world did you find sugar free , dye free pickles? I’m having such a hard time. I want to make the 1000 island dressing too
Hello! Thank you so much!! Glad you found me! You can sub coconut flour but reduce the amount – I would do 1 -2 Tablespoons or just until they can be formed into patties. It just absorbs more liquid than almond flour! And for the pickles you can find some at trader joe’s but I have found them at a larger grocery store too you just need to read all the labels! Good luck!!
Burgers are amazing ! I would just want to find out if the Nutrition Facts are for the patty alone or for the whole burger with the listed garnishes?
It should just be for the patty!
