Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sandwiches

    Lay out two slices of marble rye bread on a clean surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of Thousand Island dressing on each slice.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Layer the sliced turkey evenly over the dressing on one slice of bread. Add the sauerkraut on top of the turkey, followed by a slice of Swiss cheese. Top with the other slice of bread, dressing side down.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, place the sandwich in the skillet. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool slightly. Cut in half and serve with extra Thousand Island dressing on the side if desired.
