if using sauerkraut, drain it over a bowl to get rid of excess liquid.
1 cup coleslaw or sauerkraut, drained
Place the turkey on a small plate and microwave it for 30 seconds. Repeat this with the sauerkraut, if using. Do not microwave the coleslaw.
10 ounces turkey, deli sliced, 1 cup coleslaw or sauerkraut, drained
Put 2 slices of bread flat on a work surface and place Swiss cheese on one of the slices. Add about 5 ounces of the turkey on top of the cheese.
4 slices bread, marble rye, 4 slices Swiss cheese, 10 ounces turkey, deli sliced
Add coleslaw or warmed sauerkraut on top of the turkey. Spread Thousand Island dressing on the other slice of bread.
4 tablespoons Thousand Island dressing, 1 cup coleslaw or sauerkraut, drained
Flip the bread with dressing over to cover the rest of the sandwich. Generously butter the exposed surface of bread.
2 tablespoons butter
Place the sandwich on the hot grill, griddle, or skillet, butter side down. As the sandwich begins to cook, butter the exposed side of bread.
2 tablespoons butter
Cook for 2-3 minutes on medium heat, until the bread is lightly toasted. Then carefully flip the sandwich to grill the other side.
Remove from heat and cut in half to serve.
Repeat with remaining ingredients to make a second sandwich.

Calculations assume one sandwich is one serving, but I usually only eat half. These are very filling!
