Ingredients
- 4 slices rye bread
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 1/2 pound sliced cooked turkey breast
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 cup sauerkraut, drained and squeezed dry
Instructions
- Spread one side of each bread slice with butter. On the unbuttered side of two slices, spread 1 tablespoon Thousand Island dressing each.
- Top dressing with turkey, then 2 slices Swiss cheese per sandwich.
- Divide sauerkraut over cheese, then spread remaining dressing on the unbuttered side of the remaining bread slices and place on top, buttered side up.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook sandwiches until golden brown and cheese melts, about 4-5 minutes per side. Press down gently with a spatula while cooking.
- Remove from skillet, let rest 1 minute, then slice diagonally and serve.
Tips
- For extra flavor, toast the rye bread lightly before assembling.
- Serve with extra Thousand Island dressing for dipping.
- Leftover sauerkraut can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
