Someone asked me about this in a PM so I thought I'd just post it.

The methodology is pretty much the same as my regular tuna burger recipe, that can be found here:

I also have made Thai tuna sliders:

And spicy Cajun tuna burgers:

The ingredients for the buffalo blue cheese ones are:

4 oz. can of tuna with liquid
1/4 c. textured vegetable protein (check out any of the links above if you need to know what that is)
1 tbsp buffalo wing sauce of your choice )
1 tbsp blue cheese crumbles
a bit of onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper
2-ish tbsp Egg Beaters (or one egg white)

Set the tuna, liquid and TVP in a bowl for about 5-ish minutes or until the TVP has absorbed all the liquid.

Mix in the sauce, cheese and egg and spices. Mix well!

Spray down a griddle or frying pan and let it get HOT. Form the tuna mixture into patties (it will be loose) and place them in the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes each side.

I served with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, a thick slice of tomato and a bit of light blue cheese dressing.
