Ingredients
- 1 (6-oz.) package buttermilk cornbread mix
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 425°. Stir together cornbread mix and 2/3 cup milk. Pour batter into a lightly greased 8-inch square pan.
2. Bake at 425° for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack 5 minutes or just until warm.
3. Stir together mayonnaise and next 5 ingredients in a large bowl.
4. Crumble cornbread to equal 2 cups. Reserve remaining cornbread for another use. Fold cornbread crumbs and tuna chunks into mayonnaise mixture until well blended. Shape tuna mixture into 8 (3- to 3 1/2-inch) patties.
