  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°F. Place the patties in a baking; pan and
  bake them for 10 minutes 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.

  These turkey patties are baked 350°F (180°C) topped with cheese and
  tomato, which is broiled. Serve with Southwestern Slaw and Black
  Bean relish. "Once you get all of the ingredients gathered, this is
  very easy to put together." The restaurant serves sausage links.
  This recipe is simpler. When you are ready to form the patties ...
  coat your hands with some oil." -Executive Chef Bill Connelly
