The restaurant I worked at in college made these amazing turkey Rueben sandwiches. They are a hit with everyone, and surprisingly easy. Feel free to adjust the sauerkraut to taste, but don't skimp on the Thousand Island dressing!

Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Place turkey on a microwave-safe plate, and sauerkraut in a microwave-safe bowl. Warm them separately in the microwave for 30 seconds each.
Step 2
Spread butter generously on one side of each slice of rye bread. Lay bread slices, buttered-sides down, on a work surface. Spread Thousand Island dressing on the tops of each slice.
Step 3
Divide warmed sauerkraut between two slices of bread. Top those slices with 1/2 of the turkey, then 1/2 of the Swiss cheese. Flip the remaining two bread slices over top to create sandwiches.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Transfer the sandwiches to the hot skillet and cook until the bread is lightly browned and the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes per side.
Ingredients
