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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on the outer side of each slice of bread for all 4 sandwiches.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

While the first side is cooking, spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on the top slice of each sandwich.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.
