Ingredients
  

  • Turkey breast pastrami or sliced deli turkey
  • Butter
  • 2 slices Rye bread (seeded or seedless)
  • 1 slice Swiss cheese
  • sauerkraut (optional)
  • Thousand Island Dressing (purchased or homemade, amount to taste)

For the Thousand Island Dressing:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup chili sauce (such as Heinz)
  • 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat a frying pan over medium heat. Butter one side of each of two slices rye bread.
  • To make the Thousand Island dressing: combine mayonnaise, chili sauce, and sweet pickle relish until it reaches the right consistency and color, adding more of any component that seems lacking.
  • To assemble the sandwich: on one slice of bread, layer turkey pastrami, a slice of Swiss cheese, sauerkraut (if using), and dressing to taste, then top with other piece of bread.
  • Add sandwich to pan and cook as you would a grilled cheese sandwich, browning on one side then flipping to brown on the other.
