Here is how you make Liz's Rockin AWESOME tuna patties:

Drain the tuna & set aside.Chop/dice the squash, zucchini, carrot, cilantro & scallion. Lightly spray skillet & cook diced veggies over medium heat until slightly softened (5-10 minutes depending on your range top). You want the veggies to still have a little bite to them, some texture, so don't overcook them to mush.Remove the veggies from the heat & allow them to cool slightly (just until they are not steaming off the heat).In a medium bowl, mix drained tuna, egg, bread crumbs, veggies, & pepper. Form into 4 medium patties (you can make them bigger or smaller for any hunger levels). Lightly spray skillet again & cook the patties over medium-high heat until heated through & golden brown on each side (3-5 mins per side).Makes 4 medium patties.Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SUNSHINELOVINS!.
