Serve with a side of chips, a crisp pickle, or a simple salad for a restaurant-worthy meal at home.
Lay out the 8 slices of rye bread on a clean work surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of Thousand Island dressing on one side of each slice of bread.
Divide the sliced turkey evenly among 4 of the bread slices, placing it on the side with the dressing.
Top the turkey on each sandwich with 2 slices of Swiss cheese and 1/4 cup of drained sauerkraut.
Place the remaining 4 slices of bread on top of the assembled halves, dressing-side down, to form sandwiches.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of softened butter on the top side of each sandwich.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Working in batches if necessary, place the sandwiches butter-side down in the skillet.
Spread the remaining butter (1/2 tablespoon per sandwich) on the unbuttered side while the bottom is cooking.
Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes on the second side until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1 to 2 minutes. Slice each sandwich in half and serve warm.
