For the donated tuna cans at the food banks, battered women's shelters, or pregnant teen shelters, you could also make it into organic, brown sushi rice, cucumber & spicy mayo-dressed tuna California rolls. Or add a low-fat, chili-spiced cream cheese to it, for Philadelphia sushi rolls.
Tuna is high in protein, but for those, especially children, who don't prefer fish at all, consider mixing it with:
-Cheesy, mashed potatoes, with potatoes that have been boiled, then put through a ricer kitchen tool to mash/cream them (just use the ricer on the tuna meat to drain it and grind it into a more fine texture)
-Finely minced white, button mushrooms
-Organic, lean, ground chicken (75% of the ground chicken, with the 25% of donated tuna, drained)
Form it into a meatball and flatten it into a mini-burger patty, to fit into a muffin pan, misted with grapeseed oil. Put a thick layer of shredded, mild, pasteurized cheddar cheese over top it.
Then, bake for 20 -30 minutes, center rack, preheated oven at 350°F, until the ground chicken is completely cooked and the cheese melts. Check it with a meat thermometer. Toast whole-grain bread slices, place the patties in between the toast and cut it with kid-friendly cookie cutters to make it more appealing.
Or you can turn it into a Mexican soft tacos/soft burritos casserole. Make sure to mix it with a 75% ratio of organic ground chicken or organic, ground turkey also.
