Sweet potato tuna burgers
I crave these tuna patties. They have such flavor and you can make them a day in advance, they reheat so perfectly! Place a non peeled carrot into the oil when frying to avoid burning!

Ingredients:
- 1 serving size plain yogurt
- 3 sweet potatoes peeled
- 4 cans tuna strained
- 1 cup cooked quinoa (optional)
- 6 eggs beaten
- 1 cup fresh basil stems removed, chopped
- 1 cup scallions chopped
- 1 chili pepper chopped
- 1 tablespoon salt pink Himalayan
- 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Directions:
- In a small jar or bowl add the yogurt, ½ the chili pepper and ¼ cup of fresh basil. Mix well and set aside.
- Grate the sweet potatoes and place in a large bowl with the rest of the ingredients except the olive oil and mix well.
- Prepare a large skillet on high heat. Add a ¼ cup of olive oil and get hot. Use your hands to make burgers, squeezing out excess liquid right before you place it in the pan. Fry for 4 minutes per side.
- Use a wooden spoon AND a fish spatula to turn them over.
Notes & Tips:
If you make them in advance, reheat them in the oven uncovered. They last up to 6 days in the fridge and are even delicious room temperature!

Leftover tips for tomorrow’s lunch:
These burgers are SO good the next day and don’t even need to be reheated. If you have leftover yogurt, add rice wine vinegar to it and mix really well as a creamy salad dressing!!
My husband isn’t a scallion fan, anything good to substitute for the tuna burgers?
You can use chives, leeks or just leave them out and it will still be delicious!
