Probably not the best time to be posting a recipe for a burger but had the ingredients in my cupboard and that’s just how I roll. Shoot me for it 🙂
In all seriousness though, this Tuna Sweetcorn Burger combines traditional tuna and sweetcorn flavours typically found in sandwiches so you know it’s going to be a winner. A great fish alternative to your regular red meat burger that is still just as high in protein, low in fat and doesn’t fall apart!
