6 servings 2 Tuna Cakes each

2-6 oz. cans tuna, drained, flaked
1 pkg. (6 oz.) Stove Top Stuffing Mix for Chicken
1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/3 cup mayonaise
2 tbsp. sweet pickle relish
3/4 cup water

Mix all ingredients. Cover and refrigerate 10 minutes. (this helps cakes to firm up)

Heat large nonstick skillet sprayed wit hcooking spray on medium heat. For each tuna cake shape 1/3 cup lightly packed tuna mixture into patty. Add patties to skillet in batches.
Cook 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown on both sides. turning over carefully.

(when I made these I made smaller ones to eat with saltine crackers.)
