Serves: 2 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 1 lb sliced turkey
- 4 slices rye bread
- 1 cup sauerkraut
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- Russian or Thousand Island dressing
- Butter for grilling
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by ensuring the turkey is thinly sliced, sauerkraut is drained, and cheese is ready.
- Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F).
- Lightly butter one side of each slice of rye bread.
- Place the buttered bread slices butter-side down on the hot griddle surface.
- Spread a thin layer of Russian or Thousand Island dressing on the facing side of each bread slice.
- Layer sliced turkey evenly on two of the bread slices on the griddle.
- Top the turkey with a generous portion of drained sauerkraut.
- Place two slices of Swiss cheese over the sauerkraut on each sandwich.
- Grill the open-faced sandwiches for 3-4 minutes until the bread becomes golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully place the remaining bread slices on top, dressing-side down, and press gently with a spatula.
- Flip the sandwiches and grill the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted and bread is golden.
- Remove from griddle, let rest for 1-2 minutes, then slice diagonally and serve hot.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Ensure your Blackstone griddle is consistently at 375-400°F for that perfect golden-brown crust.
- Drain Sauerkraut Thoroughly: Excess moisture can make your sandwich soggy, so pat the sauerkraut dry before adding.
- Butter Matters: Use room temperature butter for even spreading and consistent browning.
- Don't Rush the Melt: Let the cheese fully melt and the bread get crispy for maximum flavor and texture.
- Press Gently: When flipping and pressing the sandwich, use light pressure to keep ingredients intact.
- Rest Before Serving: Allow the sandwich to rest 1-2 minutes after cooking to let flavors meld and cheese set.
