Cooking Tips

• Make sure to use fresh tuna for the best flavor and texture.
• Refrigerating the patties before grilling helps them hold their shape.
• You can also cook the patties in a skillet over medium-high heat if you don't have a grill.

Storage and Serving

• These burgers are best served immediately while the buns are still warm and the tuna is fresh.
• If you have any leftovers, store the cooked patties separately from the buns and toppings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, gently warm the patties in a skillet over medium heat until heated through.
