Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Rye bread
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 8 ounces Cooked turkey breast
- 1 cup Coleslaw
- 0.25 cup Russian dressing
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Instructions
Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Thinly slice the turkey breast if it’s not pre-sliced.
Spread a generous amount of Russian dressing on one side of each slice of rye bread.
On two of the slices, layer 2 ounces of turkey, followed by 2 slices of Swiss cheese.
Add 1/2 cup of coleslaw on top of the cheese layer on each sandwich.
Place the remaining slices of bread on top, dressing side down, to form the sandwiches.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once heated, add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt completely.
Place one sandwich in the skillet. Cook for about 3-5 minutes on the first side, or until the bread turns golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
Gently flip the sandwich using a spatula, and cook for another 3-5 minutes on the other side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted. Add more butter if necessary.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and repeat the process with the second sandwich, adding more butter to the pan before grilling.
Once both sandwiches are cooked, remove them from the skillet and allow them to cool slightly on a cutting board. Slice each sandwich in half, if desired, and serve warm.
