In a medium skillet place the bacon fat and heat it on medium until it is=

well blended.

ingredients together.

Continuing with medium bowl, add the oil and ground turkey, and mix them in=
with your hands. Add the cilantro and mix it in. Add the bread crumb=
mixture, and mix it in well with your hands. Shape the meat mixture into 8=
patties that are the size of the bread slices.

Preheat the oven to 350=B0. Place the patties in a baking; pan and BAKE them=
for 10 MINS on each side, or until they are firm.

On each slice of the bread place a slice of cheese and tomato. Place the=
bread slices under a preheated BROILER until the cheese melts.

Place one baked sausage patty on top of each grilled bread piece. Top it=
with the Southwestern Slaw. Serve the Black Bean relish on the side.
