1
Prepare the Ingredients
Thinly slice the corned beef or turkey, if not pre-sliced. Drain the sauerkraut and squeeze out excess liquid to prevent sogginess.

2
Layer the Ingredients
On two slices of rye bread, layer 4 ounces of corned beef or turkey, followed by 2 slices of Swiss cheese, and 0.5 cup of sauerkraut. Top with another slice of rye bread to complete the sandwich.

3
Heat the Pan
In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
4
Grill the Sandwich
Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet. Grill each side for about 3-4 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Add more butter if needed for grilling.

5
Serve the Sandwich
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Cut in half and serve with a side of thousand island dressing for dipping.
