-
½ cup rinsed no-salt-added canned white beans

1 large egg, lightly beaten

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper

2 (5 ounce) cans wild solid white tuna in spring water, drained

Mash beans using a fork or potato masher in a large bowl until coarse in texture. Stir in egg, mustard, lemon zest and crushed red pepper until combined. Flake tuna into chunks; gently fold into the bean mixture. Add panko, bell pepper, olives, dill and mint; gently fold until well combined. Divide the mixture into 4 portions; shape into 4 (1-inch-thick) patties.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
