- 4 slices low sodium Swiss cheese, sliced
- 4 slices rye bread
- 1 cup coleslaw (low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons low sodium Thousand Island dressing

Instructions
Spread 1 tablespoon of the low sodium Thousand Island dressing on one side of each rye bread slice.
Place 2 slices of low sodium Swiss cheese on two rye bread slices, on top of the dressing.
Distribute the low sodium turkey breast evenly onto the slices with cheese.
Top the turkey with an even amount of coleslaw on each sandwich.
Close the sandwich with the remaining two rye bread slices, dressing side down.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet.
Cook the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
If necessary, add more oil or unsalted butter to the skillet to ensure even browning.
