Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 8 slices halal smoked turkey
Bread:
- 4 slices rye bread
Cheese and Condiments:
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 cup coleslaw
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) Russian dressing
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
- Coat each slice of rye bread with a thin, even layer of softened butter on one side, ensuring complete coverage.
- Position two bread slices butter-side down in a preheated skillet, creating the sandwich base.
- Layer each bread slice with Swiss cheese, arranging smoked turkey slices, and adding a generous portion of coleslaw.
- Generously spread Russian dressing on the unbuttered side of the remaining bread slices.
- Carefully place the dressed bread slices dressing-side down onto the layered fillings, completing the sandwich structure.
- Cook the sandwich over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, monitoring until the bread turns a rich golden brown and the cheese melts completely.
- Transfer the grilled sandwich from the skillet, slice diagonally to create two triangular halves, and serve immediately while warm and crispy.
Notes
- Boost flavor by using high-quality smoked turkey and artisan rye bread for a gourmet twist.
- Ensure even melting by covering the skillet with a lid during grilling to help cheese melt uniformly.
- Customize dietary needs by substituting regular cheese with dairy-free alternatives or using gluten-free bread for those with restrictions.
- Control sandwich crispiness by adjusting heat and monitoring browning to achieve perfect golden-brown exterior without burning.
