Instructions
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Spread a tablespoon of Russian dressing on one side of each slice of rye bread.
- On two slices of bread, layer a slice of turkey, a slice of Swiss cheese, and 1/4 cup of sauerkraut.
- Top each with another slice of bread, dressing side down.
- Spread butter on the outside of each sandwich, ensuring all corners are covered for an evenly toasted crunch.
- Place the sandwiches on the skillet or griddle and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side. The bread should be golden brown and the cheese should be melting and gooey.
- Remove the sandwiches from the skillet or griddle and let them cool for a few minutes before serving to avoid scalding the mouth.
- Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally and serve warm for the best flavor.
Tips
- For a variation, try using pastrami or corned beef instead of turkey. For a vegetarian option, replace the turkey with a plant-based meat substitute.
