Crispy Tuna Bites

We've talked about my internet research lately, right?  Well, in my frustrated, desperate search to find something... anything... George will eat, I stumbled upon this recipe.  I changed it up a bit, added a few things, left a few things out, and it turned out delicious.  And George actually picked one up and picked at it for a few minutes.  I think some of the pieces may have actually made it into his stomach.  That's a big accomplishment these days.



  • 7oz can of tuna
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp Parsley
  • 3/4 c. bread crumbs (I used Panko because it's all we had)
  • Canola Oil cooking spray
  • 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
  • One heaping pinch of shredded cheese (I used Italian 5 Cheese)
  • One heaping pinch of finely chopped spinach (I chopped in the food processor)
  1. Mix together tuna, egg, parsley, bread crumbs, garlic powder, cheese and spinach.  Mix well
  2. Line your cooking sheet with foil and give it a generous spray of canola oil cooking spray
  3. Form your tuna mixture into balls
  4. Spray them lightly with canola oil cooking spray
  5. Refrigerate for 5 minutes
  6. Bake 15 minutes @ 375 degrees (I sprayed them with the spray again about 8 minutes into the cooking time.)
