Tuna Patties with Health One Meal Replacement

I don't know about you, but sometimes I just crave some "real food."  So today I decided to try to make Tuna Patties.  They were always one of my favorite quick meals, but definitely not low-cal.  After thinking through how this might be done with meal replacement and not too many additive calories, I came up with this...

Tuna Patties

2 servings – 4 patties per serving

Calories:  MR – 160 calories, Additives – 65 calories

Total Calories – 225

  

Ingredients:

2 – Potato Soup Meal Replacements

1 – 3 oz. can of Tuna packed in water – drained

¼ cup of Egg Beaters

Cornmeal

Pam cooking spray

Instructions:

Drain tuna. 

Mix tuna into potato soup meal replacements making certain that the tuna is thoroughly distributed through the meal replacement.  Slowly mix in Egg Beaters to make certain that you don’t use too much.  The mixture should stick together in a big ball.

Form the tuna mixture into 8 small patties.  Dip the patties into cornmeal on both sides – it doesn’t take a lot, but it adds a wonderful crunch on the outside of the patties.

Heat a frying pan over medium heat.  Spray with Pam and place the patties into the pan.  After the first side is a golden brown, turn over the patties.  At this point, I press on the patties to thin them out a bit so that they are cooked through.  You may want to experiment with this.

I like these served plain; however, you may like to use some type of dip.  Just make sure to count it in your additive calories.

Enjoy!
