My go to weeknight dinner has to be these tuna burgers because they come together in just thirty minutes and taste absolutely delicious. Canned tuna is such a budget friendly protein that's packed with omega 3 fatty acids, which are great for your heart and brain. What I love most is how simple they are to make, even with kids underfoot in the kitchen. The homemade lemon garlic mayo takes them from ordinary to restaurant quality, and honestly, once you try them this way, store bought condiments just won't cut it anymore.
