My family members were so accustomed to typical beef burgers that they were hesitant to try these when I first made them. Any skepticism disappeared after just one bite. —Kim Stoller, Smithville, Ohio

Ingredients

1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons chili sauce
1 pouch (6.4 ounces) light tuna in water
2 tablespoons butter
4 hamburger buns, split and toasted
Optional: Lettuce leaves and sliced tomato

Directions

Mix the first 6 ingredients; fold in tuna. Shape into 4 patties.
In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Cook patties until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes on each side. Serve on buns. If desired, top with lettuce and tomato.

Health Tip: Lighten up this burger by using reduced-fat mayonnaise and brushing the patties with 1 Tbsp. butter. Then use your broiler instead of pan-frying. You’ll save 75 calories and 10 grams of fat per serving.
