Tuna Patties with Dill Sauce Recipe

Tuna Patties with Dill Sauce Recipe

  • 2 parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch slices
  • 2 egg whites, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 1/2 teaspoon dill weed
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 (6 ounce) cans light water-packed albacore tuna, drained and flaked
  • 2 teaspoons olive or canola oil
  • DILL SAUCE:
  • 1/2 cup fat-free mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 1/2 teaspoon dill weed
  1. Place parsnips in a saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30-35 minutes or until tender. Drain well. Place parsnips in a food processor or blender; cover and process until smooth. In a bowl, combine 1 cup pureed parsnips, egg whites, bread crumbs, onions, parsley, lemon juice and peel, dill and pepper. Add tuna and mix well.
  2. Shape into eight 1/2-in.-thick patties (patties will be soft). In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook patties for 5-6 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl; serve with tuna patties.
