Introduction
Using hickory smoked tuna makes these burgers extra-meaty tasting. Great for feeding a picky family who doesn't want to eat your "diet" food all the time!This recipe is highly substitutable — I used what I had in the cupboards at the time, which included using crushed Honey Nut Cheerio’s as the binder. If you’re normal, and have bread crumbs or crackers to crush up, use those. The cereal worked surprisingly well, though and added a touch of sweetness to the burgers.
