Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Gently clean the portabella mushroom caps with a damp paper towel and remove the stems.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
Brush the marinade generously over both sides of the mushroom caps.
Place the mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast them in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
While the mushrooms are roasting, lightly butter one side of each slice of rye bread.
Spread a thin layer of Thousand Island dressing on the unbuttered side of two slices of bread.
Place a roasted portabella mushroom on top of each slice with the dressing.
Add 2 slices of Swiss cheese and 1/4 cup sauerkraut on top of each mushroom.
Cover each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side out.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Carefully place the sandwiches on the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve warm.
