Ingredients
- 8 slices rye bread (marble rye or pumpernickel optional)
- 12 oz thinly sliced turkey breast or pastrami
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 1/2 cups creamy coleslaw, drained if moist
- 1/2 cup Russian or Thousand Island dressing
- 2 tbsp butter, softened (for grilling)
Instructions
Butter the outside of each bread slice.
- Spread dressing evenly on the inside of each slice.
- Layer turkey or pastrami and Swiss cheese on half of the bread slices.
- Add a layer of drained coleslaw over the cheese.
- Top with the remaining bread slices, dressing side in.
- Grill in a skillet over medium-low heat, pressing gently, until bread is golden and cheese is melted, flipping to toast both sides evenly.
Notes
- Drain coleslaw well to prevent sogginess.
- For a richer flavor, use pastrami instead of turkey.
- Best served immediately after grilling for crisp texture and melted cheese.
- Use a cast-iron skillet or panini press for even browning.
