Tuna Melt Patties - (Makes 2 patties)

Here's a special edition of an American classic that clocks in at a preparation speed of five minutes or less!

Ingredients:

1 6oz. can tuna, drained
1 egg white, beaten
2 tbsp. oatmeal (quick or regular)
2 tbsp. onion, diced (or ¼ tsp onion powder)
¼ tsp garlic powder
salt or salt substitute & pepper to taste

Suggested Alternatives:

See "Tuna Time" for more ideas on how you can season your tuna melt patties.

Directions:

Mix all ingredients except cheese together in a small bowl. Heat a small non-stick frying pan over medium heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Make two small patties by spooning ½ of tuna mixture into each side of the pan and lightly pressing with fork to flatten into a patty. Cook until both sides are brown. Top with 1 tbsp. cheese and serve alone, on top of light bread, or with sides of choice.
