Take a six-ounce can of tuna and mix it with three tablespoons of seasoned dry bread crumbs, one egg white and one-half teaspoon of hot sauce.

Add the tuna patty and cook four minutes per side, until it is golden brown and cooked through. Place the burger on a bun and top with two tomato slices. Now, that’s a healthy Whopper!
