Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Whole wheat bread
- 4 slices Low-fat Swiss cheese
- 8 ounces Turkey breast, deli-sliced
- 1 cup Sauerkraut, drained
- 4 tablespoons Low-fat Russian dressing
- 1 as needed for non-stick Cooking spray
Instructions
Begin by preparing your ingredients: drain the sauerkraut, slice the Swiss cheese if not pre-sliced, and have the turkey ready.
Spread 1 tablespoon of low-fat Russian dressing onto each slice of whole wheat bread.
Layer two slices of cheese on two slices of the bread with the dressing side facing up.
Divide the turkey breast evenly and layer it over the cheese on the two bread slices, followed by spreading the drained sauerkraut over the turkey.
Top with the remaining slices of bread, dressing side down, forming two sandwiches.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly spray it with cooking spray.
Carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet. Cook on one side until the bread is golden and the cheese begins to melt, approximately 4-5 minutes.
Gently flip the sandwiches and cook for another 4-5 minutes, ensuring both sides are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, cut in half if desired, and serve warm.
