Easy, Kid-Friendly, Tuna Patties
This simple, kid-friendly, recipe can turn a can of tuna into a healthy dinner of tuna patties.
There are some days when I may not have any other food in the house, but I can always find a tin of tuna in a the back of the cupboard. With that can of tuna I can make these deliciously simple tuna patties and feed the entire family.
These patties are a great tuna recipe for toddlers as they are perfect as finger food, and older kids, and us adults will love them too!
The best thing about this recipe is that you can pretty much throw anything you’ve got into these tuna patties, so even if you think you have nothing for dinner you probably do.
You can make the crumbs out of anything – day old bread, savoury biscuits (crackers), rice bubbles, corn flakes – all of those work.
You can throw in whatever veggies you have, as long as you chop them finely. We always have capsicum and corn in the freezer, but you could add grated carrot, cooked broccoli or spinach. You can even leave out the onion if need to.
These tuna patties make great finger food for toddlers, or put them in a bread roll and make a burger. My kids like them in a ‘toast sandwich’ with some mayonnaise spread on the toast and a little shredded lettuce.
For adults, you might like to add a bit more flavour by upping the amount of Worcestershire sauce, and adding some mustard or sweet chilli sauce to the mix.
These easy to make tuna patties are so versatile you can make them with whatever you have on hand and whip up a delicious dinner from nothing!
