  • 1 (12 1/2-oz.) can tuna packed in water, drained, flaked
  • 4 leaves leaf lettuce
  • 4 burger buns, split
  • 4 slices tomato
  • Tartar sauce, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Heat grill. Beat egg in medium bowl. Add bread crumbs, onion, hot pepper sauce and tuna; mix well. Shape mixture into 4 patties, 3/4 inch thick.

    When ready to grill, place patties on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals. Cook 8 to 10 minutes or until deep golden brown, turning once.

    Place lettuce on bottom halves of buns. Top each with patty, tomato and top half of bun. Serve with tartar sauce.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Prefer to broil the patties? Place on broiler pan and broil 4 to 6 inches from heat, using times above as a guide. Turn patties once during cook time.
  • tip 2
    These grilled tuna steak burgers contain pantry staples you can keep on hand, making this the perfect recipe for spontaneous grilling!
  • tip 3
    Want to switch up the flavor of your Grilled Tuna Burgers? Try substituting seafood sauce for the tartar sauce.
  • tip 4
    If desired, try using Kaiser rolls or sesame or poppy seed buns for your Grilled Tuna Burgers. Toast the buns on the grill during the last 2 to 3 minutes of cooking time.
