Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Condiments
- 8 slices rye bread
- 1/4 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
Fillings
- 8 oz sliced cooked turkey breast
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 cup sauerkraut, drained
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread – Spread Thousand Island dressing on one side of each slice of rye bread evenly to infuse flavor into every bite.
- Layer the Fillings – On four of the bread slices, layer the sliced cooked turkey breast, followed by the sauerkraut, then top with Swiss cheese to build your sandwich.
- Assemble the Sandwich – Place the remaining four slices of bread on top of the fillings, dressing side down, creating four complete sandwiches.
- Butter the Exterior – Spread the softened butter on the outside of each sandwich to ensure a crispy, golden crust when grilled.
- Preheat the Skillet – Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat to prepare for grilling the sandwiches evenly.
- Grill the Sandwiches – Place the sandwiches on the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the bottoms turn golden brown.
- Flip and Finish Grilling – Carefully flip each sandwich and grill the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes until golden and the Swiss cheese is melted and gooey.
- Serve – Remove the sandwiches from heat, slice them in half diagonally, and serve hot for best taste.
Notes
- Make sure the sauerkraut is well drained to avoid soggy sandwiches.
- Use softened butter for easy spreading and even browning.
- Grilling time may vary depending on your stove and skillet, so watch closely to prevent burning.
- For a vegetarian version, replace turkey with grilled mushrooms or tempeh and ensure Thousand Island dressing is vegetarian-friendly.
- Serve with pickles or a side salad for a complete meal.
