Purr-fect Tuna Patties

Makes 5 servings

INGREDIENTS:
2 eggs
1 6 1/2-ounce can of water-packed tuna, drained and flaked
1 cup bread crumbs
1 tsp brewer's yeast
1 teaspoon bone meal
Pinch of salt
2 tbs margarine

In a medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs. Add the tuna, bread crumbs, brewer's yeast, bone meal, and salt. Thoroughly blend with a wooden spoon until moistened. In a skillet, melt the margarine over medium heat. Take small handfuls of the mixture and form five patties. Place the patties in the skillet. Cook each side for 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Place the patties on a plate. Once they are cooled, crumble them into small pieces to give as a meal or as treats.
