Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Rye bread
- 1 pound Deli turkey breast
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 cup Sauerkraut
- 0.5 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Lay out the rye bread slices in pairs to make 4 sandwiches. Spread 1 tablespoon of Thousand Island dressing onto one side of each slice.
Layer 2 ounces of deli turkey breast, 2 tablespoons of sauerkraut, and 1 slice of Swiss cheese onto the dressed side of 4 slices of bread. Place the other slice of bread on top of each, dressing side facing inward.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on the outer side of each slice of bread for all 4 sandwiches.
Place the sandwiches buttered-side down onto the preheated skillet or griddle. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and crisp.
While the first side is cooking, spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on the top slice of each sandwich.
Flip the sandwiches carefully with a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, until golden brown and the Swiss cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes. Slice each sandwich in half and serve warm with additional Thousand Island dressing on the side, if desired.
