Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 ounces (56 grams) sliced turkey
- 2 slices Swiss cheese
Bread:
- 2 slices rye bread
Condiments and Extras:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) coleslaw
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) Russian dressing
- 1 tablespoon (15 grams) butter
Instructions
- Generously coat both rye bread slices with tangy Russian dressing, ensuring complete coverage.
- Assemble the sandwich by layering tender turkey meat, creamy Swiss cheese, and crisp coleslaw on one bread slice.
- Carefully place the second bread slice on top, dressing side facing inward, creating a compact sandwich structure.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add butter, allowing it to melt and create a golden cooking surface.
- Gently place the sandwich in the skillet, cooking for approximately 3-4 minutes until the bottom achieves a rich, caramelized brown color.
- Flip the sandwich with a spatula and continue grilling the opposite side for another 3-4 minutes, ensuring the cheese melts completely and the bread turns evenly golden.
- Remove from heat, transfer to a cutting board, and slice diagonally to create two triangular halves.
- Serve immediately while the sandwich remains warm and the cheese is luxuriously melted.
Notes
- Choose high-quality, thinly sliced turkey for a more delicate flavor and easier melting of cheese.
- Swap traditional rye bread with gluten-free or whole wheat options to accommodate different dietary needs.
- Press the sandwich gently while grilling to ensure even browning and a compact, crispy texture.
- Add a dash of hot sauce or pickled jalapeños to the coleslaw for an extra kick of flavor and heat.
