Ingredients

1/2 cup chopped celery
1/3 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons canola oil
3 cans (5 ounces each) white water-packed solid tuna, chopped
2 cups soft bread crumbs
1/2 cup toasted wheat germ
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup 2% milk
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a small skillet, saute celery and onion in oil for 5 minutes or until tender. In a large bowl, combine the tuna, bread crumbs, wheat germ, eggs, milk, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper. Stir in celery mixture. Shape into 6 oval loaves.
Place in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake until lightly browned, 20-25 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, 5 minutes longer.
Freeze option: Securely wrap cooled loaf in foil, then freeze. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Unwrap loaf; reheat on a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan in a preheated 350° oven until heated through and a thermometer inserted in center reads 165°.
