Notes

Note 1: If you have an amazing bakery, buy a loaf of their rye bread if possible, or make a home-made loaf of rye bread.

Note 2: This recipe calls for leftover turkey meat. Deli sliced turkey can be used. Corned beef and leftover corned beef can also be used.

Note 3: Drain the liquid from the sauerkraut. You can also use a cotton towel to place the sauerkraut in and drain the kraut thru the cotton cloth.

Note 4: I prefer low-fat Russian Dressing. You can use regular Russian Dressing. Some use Thousand Island dressing.

Note 4: If the sandwich is browning quickly and the cheese is not melting, place a pot cover over the sandwich for a few seconds to melt the cheese quicker.
