If you have a photo, I can attach a photo to your recipe creation. If you are a food blogger, you need to recreate a new recipe for the contest, I will link to your post, but it has to be original content.

Starkist Tuna Spring Rolls

2 cans of Starkist
2 carrots (chopped fine)

Soak each Spring roll sheet one at a time in warm water until pliable about 15 seconds. Add a large spoonful of Starkist tuna to the center of the sheet. Follow by adding each a spoonful of carrots, rice, and onion. Wrap the Spring roll so all ends fold in and fry in hot oil for about two minutes, turn over for additional minute. Place on paper towel to remove excess oil. Serve hot with soy sauce.

My recipe mocks traditional crab cakes, but the use of tuna makes them dirt cheap while still being healthy. They are GF because I have a severe wheat allergy but the recipe is easily converted back.
Gluten Free Poor Man’s Krabby Patty

Serves 4

1 (6 ounce) can tuna (I prefer albacore in water low sodium Starkist Tuna), drained
1 egg, I use large
1/2 cup seasoned Gluten Free ‘bread’ crumbs, or your favorite GF cereal like Chex, crushed
1/3 cup minced onion
1/4 cup minced celery
1/4 cup minced red bell pepper
1/4 cup mayonnaise (Hellman’s is GF)
2 tablespoons chili sauce, optional
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 dash hot pepper sauce, optional
1 dash Worcestershire sauce (Lea & Perrins is GF), optional

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Combine tuna, egg, bread crumbs, onion, celery, red bell pepper, mayonnaise, hot chili sauce, chili sauce, dill, salt, pepper, hot pepper sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well. Shape into 4 patties (mixture will be very soft and delicate). Refrigerate for 30 minutes to make the patties easier to handle, if desired can be made up a day or two in advance.
Coat a cast iron skillet with cooking spray, oil or butter(just enough to coat not shallow frying); fry tuna patties for about 3 to 4 minutes per side. These are fragile, so be careful when turning them. Then I pop them into the oven for 5-10 minutes. Using a cast iron skillet makes it even easier.
Serve plain, or on GF buns with yummy sides of steamed veggies *coughs* or deep fried sweet potato fries

What fun!! Don’t know if this type of ‘copykat’ counts or not but here goes:
Original recipe:
Del Monte Tuna cups
Ingredients
2 cloves (10 g) garlic, crushed
1 pc (30 g) small onion, chopped
1/2 c (100.5 g) canned button mushrooms, sliced
1 pouch (130 g) DEL MONTE Sweet Style Spaghetti Sauce
1/3 c (63 g) tuna chunks in oil, drained
12 pc (360 g) pan Americano (or sliced bread), edges removed
2 tbsp (28 g) margarine, softened
1/2 c (57.5 g) quickmelt cheese, grated
Procedures

1. Sauté GARLIC, onion and mushrooms. Add DEL MONTE Spaghetti Sauce and tuna. Simmer for 3 minutes. Set aside. 2. Spread each bread with margarine. Fit into muffin pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5 minutes. Fill each bread “cup” with 1-2 tablespoons of sautéed mixture. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake for another 3 minutes or until cheese melts.

My version:
Baked Tuna cups
Ingredients:
2 T. dried onion
1 can cr. of mushroom soup
1 can Tuna in water, drained
1/2 Cup grated cheddar cheese,
pepper to taste,
1/4 C frozen peas, thawed (optional)
1/4 C chopped canned mushroom (optional)
1 stick celery chopped fine
Thin sliced bread (white or wheat) with edges removed.

Procedure:
Mix all ingredients in large bowl. Butter bread slices and ‘fit’ into reg or large muffin pans.
Fill each bread ‘cup’ with mixed tuna ‘sauce’. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until bread is light brown and sauce is bubbly. Sprinkle a little more cheese on top or top with a slice of cheese and bake until melted. Alternative: top with crispy dried onions or dried chow mein noodles and bake for 1 minute.

Serve hot with salad for a refreshing hot tuna ‘sandwich’!
