1 - 2tablespoonssauerkraut
2 - 3slicesof deli turkey meat

Instructions
Lay the two pieces of bread on a prep board. Spread the Thousand Island dressing or homemade spicy sauce on one slice.
Lay one slice of cheese on each slice of bread. For the best melted stick, see the assembly instructions in the post above.
Drain the liquid from the sauerkraut by patting it with a paper towel and then spread it on one side of the sandwich.
Lay the turkey down and press the sandwich together.
Spread softened butter over the top of the sandwich.
Heat the remaining butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, lay the prepared sandwich non-buttered side down.
Cook the sandwich for 2 - 3 minutes and then flip it over with a spatula to griddle the other side. You may wish to press the sandwich with the spatula to ensure even browning and to help the melting cheese to stick the ingredients together.
Cook until golden brown on both sides. Serve immediately.
