Y'all know I'm always wandering the aisles at Sam's Club looking for something new to bring home. On my last trip, these Safe Catch Tuna Burgers practically jumped into my cart.
I'll admit it...I was intrigued.
A tuna burger? On the grill? I had to know if they were as good as they sounded.
The first thing that caught my attention was the nutrition information. Compared to a traditional 4-ounce beef burger, these have 33 grams of protein, 68% less fat, and 30% fewer calories. They also contain omega-3s, and every tuna is mercury tested. That's a pretty impressive list.
When lunchtime rolled around, I headed out to the grill.
One thing I really liked is that there's no thawing required. They go straight from the freezer to the grill.
I sprinkled both sides with Kinder's The Seafood Blend, preheated the grill to 500°F, and placed the frozen burgers directly on the grates. After they developed a nice sear, I rotated each one about 45 degrees to create those beautiful grill marks.
Once the first side was finished, I lowered the grill to medium heat, flipped the burgers, and repeated the process until they reached an internal temperature of 165°F.
I have to admit...those grill marks made me smile.
Then came the important question...
How do you dress a tuna burger?
Do you go with tartar sauce? Cocktail sauce? Or do you treat it just like a hamburger?
Since I haven't made it to the grocery store since getting home from vacation, I kept mine simple with Duke's mayonnaise, ketchup, and a few slices of sweet onion.
Sweet Harold built his with mayo, mustard, ketchup, onion, and pickled jalapeños.
Both combinations worked beautifully.
The burgers were moist, flavorful, and didn't have an overpowering fish taste. They held together perfectly on the grill and made a satisfying meal without feeling heavy.
Would I buy them again?
Absolutely.
These are the kind of freezer staple I love to keep on hand. They're quick to prepare, packed with protein, and make a delicious lunch or supper when you don't have a lot of time to cook.
If you happen to spot them at Sam's Club, I'd say they're definitely worth tossing into your cart.
Have you ever tried a tuna burger? If so, how do you top yours? I'd love to hear your favorite combination!
