Many years ago I fell in love with the flavor of Italian tuna packed in olive oil, which I first found out about from an amazing tuna salad I saw online. Since then I’ve always had some olive-oil packed tuna in the pantry, and these 10 Healthy Tuna Recipes are the ones I make when I want a healthy meal with canned tuna that’s quick to put together.

These favorite canned tuna recipes are all lunches or light dinners I make over and over, and if you’re a canned tuna fan I bet you’re going to find some ideas here you’re really going to love; enjoy!

What canned tuna do I use for the Healthy Tuna Recipes?

When I realized this thing with the tuna in olive oil was turning into a long term relationship, I started paying attention to the price. There are some wonderful imported Italian tunas if money is no object, but I was thrilled to discover Genova Tuna Packed in Olive Oil (affiliate link). This brand compares favorably with imported tunas and I love this this canned tuna so much and I’ve been buying it for so long that it’s definitely a Kalyn’s Kitchen Picks recommendation! (And for anyone who might be wondering, this company has not sent me any free tuna or paid me in any way to write an endorsement of their tuna.)

Where to Buy Genova Tuna Packed in Olive Oil:

If you’re lucky you might find this amazing tuna at your favorite store. A few years ago I couldn’t find it any more it at any of the stores where I looked, so I started to buy Genova Tuna Packed in Olive Oil (affiliate link) from Amazon.com. I use this regularly, so I buy 24 cans at a time, and from Amazon it comes out to about $2.00 per can which is an amazing price compared to the Italian tuna I used to buy. This is definitely a product I’ll be buying for a long time.

Are the healthy tuna recipes low in carbs?

Every healthy recipe here that uses tuna is made with the carb-conscious approach to eating that my site is known for. There are recipes here that are suitable for strict Keto, and others that have a few more carbs, but all are going to be lower in carbs than you might think, even the ones with beans or pasta. Use the diet-type icons and nutritional information on individual recipes to see just how many carbs each recipe has.
