Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• ½ teaspoon dried savory
• 3 tablespoons chopped green onion
• ½ teaspoon hot pepper sauce, or to taste
• 3 tablespoons barbeque sauce
• ⅔ cup quick-cooking oats
• 1 (5 ounce) can light tuna in water, drained

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, stir together the tuna, egg and oats until blended. Mix in the barbeque sauce, green onion, hot pepper sauce, savory, and salt.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Spoon tablespoonfuls of the tuna mixture into the pan, and flatten slightly. Smaller patties hold together better. Cook until browned on each side, about 3 minutes per side.
