Tuna Spins
Tuna Spins are savory, flaky rolls filled with a creamy tuna mixture, perfect for a quick lunch or appetizer that appeals to seafood lovers and comfort food enthusiasts.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine Bisquick mix and milk in a bowl.
- Stir with a fork until well mixed.
- Roll the dough into a square on a floured board.
- Combine drained tuna and cream of mushroom soup in a separate bowl.
- Spread the tuna mixture evenly over the dough.
- Roll up the dough with the filling inside, like cinnamon rolls.
- Slice into individual portions and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider adding some grated cheese or diced bell peppers to the tuna mixture for extra flavor. If you don't have Bisquick, you can create a substitute using flour, baking powder, and salt. Alternatively, try using a pre-made pizza dough for a different texture. These Tuna Spins are also great for using up leftover seafood from dishes like Salmon-Shrimp Casserole.
Serving Suggestions
These Tuna Spins make an excellent appetizer or light meal, and they pair wonderfully with a fresh garden salad or some steamed vegetables for a complete dinner. For a fun twist, serve with a dipping sauce, such as ranch or a tangy tartar sauce. They also go well with side dishes like Aunt Frances' Party Crackers for a more festive occasion.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the slices in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions for a quicker option, but the oven method will help keep the rolls crisp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh tuna instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh tuna! Just cook and flake it before mixing it with the cream of mushroom soup. However, ensure it's well-seasoned to maintain flavor, as canned tuna is typically pre-seasoned.
What can I substitute for cream of mushroom soup?
If you don't have cream of mushroom soup, you can use a homemade béchamel sauce with sautéed mushrooms or try a different cream soup, like cream of chicken. Alternatively, a simple mixture of sour cream and mushrooms can work as a substitute.
Can I freeze Tuna Spins?
Yes, you can freeze Tuna Spins! After slicing, wrap each portion tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. They can be stored for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and follow the reheating instructions.
