Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Take 2 slices of rye bread and spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter on one side of each slice.

  2. 2

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the unbuttered side of one slice of bread, layer 4 ounces of corned beef or turkey, 1 cup of sauerkraut, and 2 slices of Swiss cheese. Spread 2 tablespoons of thousand island dressing on the unbuttered side of the other slice of bread.

Grilling

    Grill the Sandwich

    In a skillet over medium heat, place the sandwich butter-side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes or until the bread is golden brown.

    Flip and Grill the Other Side

    Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula, and grill the other side for another 4-5 minutes until it is also golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serving

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then slice it in half and serve immediately with extra thousand island dressing on the side if desired.
