These sound really yummy. I like my tuna with just a "hint" of rosemary so I might try that with your recipe.
-
Let me know that might give the little extra to make them great instead of good . !
-
I don't like tuna, but I think I could do this with canned chicken.
-
That's just what I was thinking. We are a tuna free house hold lol! Chicken patties sound wicked good though!
-
Never thought about that I am going to the store today ! Will give it a try .
-
Oh how I love this group, the creativity just flows and flows!
-
YUMMY!!
-
i will try this
-
Added a little bit of chopped green onion. They were excellent!
-
I tried the tuna patties for lunch today. They were very good. I put a few shakes of Frank's Hot Sauce (0 net carbs) on top to eat them. It just gave them a little extra zip.
-
those or some good ideas i have not made them in awhile
-
I am making these for lunch today.I love quick and easy. ;D
-
The Tuna Patties were wonderful. We made up a quick dill mayo to go with them..... Delish! 8)
Dill Mayo
3 heaping tablespoons mayo
1 heaping tablespoon fresh chopped dill
1 drop green food color
-
Ok you made me want them now ..
-
How Many does this make Jo??..Want to know serving size??
-
Hey Doreen I think 2 cans makes like 9-10 depending how big you make them . Cause when you put them in the pan you kinda flatten them out yu dont want them thick . Sometimes I just use 1 can of tuna & 1 egg plus the cheese of course if it is just for you you could do that .
-
Thanks Gurlfriend gonna give it a go.. ;D
-
We got 8 from the recipe and they were great 8)
-
They are fantastic and very filling! :)
-
made these for lunch today and they were really tasty - it was quick to whip up for lunch my only mistake almost was not waiting til they were browned enuff to turn so they were kind of sticking to the pan a bit
-
Glad you liked them ,yes you want them nice and brown .
-
I wonder if this would work with canned salmon too?
-
Yes mam or chicken
-
Yes and they are great!
-
Oooooh goodie!
-
Fresh chicken shredded or canned? Yuk, I've never even heard of canned chicken!
-
You can use can chicken but i dont like it I have used real chicken and shred it good chop up like tuna . Do you not like tuna ?
The tuna patties were better to me then the chicken just saying
-
Yep Jo, I love tuna, was just thinking of some variations....
-
Anyone try these with lump crab meat??

Anyone try these with lump crab meat??
Hi again Beth! :)
This works with canned tuna, salmon, clams, crab, and lobster.
Just be sure whichever you chose, to drain well BEFORE mixing in other ingredients.
Otherwise, you may end up with a mushy mess. :-\
-
Yes I've made them with lump crab and they turned out great!
-
Yep! Doug makes crabcakes and they are good! :)
-
So I am still new enough... are these zero carb?
-
Yes they are !
-
So I am still new enough... are these zero carb?
It depends on your ingredients if they are 0 carbs. Eggs have carbs (.6 for large or 1 for x-large) unless you buy the Omega 3 eggs. Also check your parmesan cheese some containers say they have carbs and some don't. It is best to learn how to do your own carb count for every recipe because not everyone uses the same brand name of ingredients and they are all different.
-
I can't wait to try these for lunch. I'm going to make both Tuna and Chicken. ;D
-
Welcome to the family Shannons, these cakes are wonderful!
-

Doug's right!... These cakes are REALLY YUMMY! ;D ;D ;D
I'm looking forward to hearing about your FTS journey.

Just wanted to share that I made these for dinner. Awesome.. I loved them I made Tuna for Hubby and Chicken for myself. A must try!
-

-
Welcome to the FTS forum family ShannonS. Enjoy your journey to a smaller, healthier you!!
-
Whats the carb count on the mushroom soup Marty? :)
-
How hard could it be to do cream of mushroom?? :)
-
Could always ask umpa :)
-
Any "old" recipe that I have that calls for Cream of Mushroom Soup, I substitute Classico Mushroom Alfredo Sauce, 1 net carb per 1/4 cup. It works great.
-
ShihTzuMom1 thats it!good job! :)
-
I agree Umpa! :) :) :)
I imagine Doug's Alfredo sauce recipe heated with fresh diced mushrooms would do pretty well too!
-
Yeppers.I would cook the mushrooms first in a frying pan or microwave like you do before you put them on pizza.They release alot of liquid. ;)
-
Good idea, SMom, but there again, I don't know about the condensed-ness. "Condensed" spelled with one 'c' and one 's'. :D I'll try the alfredo sauce and some mushrooms today and if it doesn't work, I'll pass it on to Ask Umpa. Just for fun. :D :D
Hi Marty! :)
If you want more "condensed-ness" using Doug's Alfredo sauce recipe, just add more grated Parmesan cheese.
Doing that, you can make the sauce as thick as you like.
I've never found a sauce that was too cheesy! ;D
-
How much cheese do you use, guys? Thanks, dowensrdu
-
dowensrdu,it is really to your taste I think it was 1/4-1/2 cup of shredded cheese then I just shook the parm cheese till I got a good little bit I would say 1/8 of cup maybe . They are tasty ;D
-
Never get tired of this easy easy recipe
2 6-ounce cans tuna, drained
2 eggs
2 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded (any cheese you want )
2 -3 tablespoons parmesan cheese
Fry them up
-
Mmm I'm gonna make these for dinner tonight!
-
Try them with salmon too,really good! ;)
-
Mmm.. yep you're right. They're really good. I made them with Doug's dill mayo. It sorta reminds me of tarter sauce only better. Next time I'll do them with salmon.
-
Love them with salmon or tuna ;D
-
First recipe I tried. I was nervous my hubby would resist but he ate them right up!
-
It's normal food. He'll figure that out soon enough. There are just some ingredients we don't use anymore.
You're doing great!
-
I actually do my tuna patties using steamed mashed cauliflower instead of mashed potato
(large tin drained tuna, steamed cauli, 1 egg, onion, parsley, s&p and rolled in golden flax - then fried - if the mix seems a bit soggy add some flax to bind). Carbwise it comes out very low.
-
Good with salmon too! ;)
-
Good with salmon too! ;)
If you get the chance, try this with steelhead trout!... OMG!!! is it ever GOOD!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
This is a quick easy recipe that you certainly enjoy YUMMY!
-
These are really good ;)
