How to Make Canned Protein Burger
You don't need fresh ground meat to make a delicious burger. With this budget-friendly option, you can use any canned meat such as tuna, salmon, or chicken. You could serve this like a traditional burger on a whole-wheat but with cheese, lettuce, and tomato. Or, for a low carb option, serve in a lettuce wrap topped with salsa and avocado. You could also chop up the patties and use them as a filling for a taco or burrito. The patties also freeze well, so you can make a bunch and save for a super quick dinner or lunch.

Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or wrap individually in freezer bags or containers and freeze up to 3 months (freeze cooked burgers only, do not freeze the raw burgers).
- Add olive oil to a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry burgers on each side for 3-4 minutes. Work in batches if your pan is not big enough to hold all 8 burgers.
- In a bowl, mix together the canned protein, breadcrumbs, lite mayonnaise, onion, bell pepper, egg, salt and pepper until combined. Form the mixture into 6 patties.

I will definitely make it again with other proteins.
