Ingredients:
- 2 (5-ounce) cans tuna, drained
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- cooking spray
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, mix the drained tuna, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the egg, almond flour, shredded cheddar cheese, Greek yogurt, and Dijon mustard. Stir until fully combined.
- Form the mixture into 4–5 small patties, pressing them firmly so they hold their shape.
- cooking spray.
- Cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve warm — enjoy with a simple dipping sauce, over a salad, or wrapped in crisp lettuce!
Additional Notes:
- Almond flour keeps it low-carb, but regular breadcrumbs can be used if preferred.
- For the crispiest patties, don’t move them too much while they’re frying.
