Canned tuna, are you able to finish a can at one go?

After using about 2 tablespoons of tuna flakes for sandwich, I will use the balance to make these patties that my kids say taste like chicken nuggets.  I have no idea why.

The patties taste better than they look in my photos.  The processed tuna is already seasoned, so I only added bread crumbs, eggs, and olive oil, ingredients that can hold the tuna flakes into patties, plus a dash of black pepper.

You can then shape them into large burger patties or smaller nuggets, depending on preference.  My kids love both versions.
