for the sandwich:
1 slice rye bread
leftover Thanksgiving turkey, sliced as thinly as possible (about 3 ounces)
1 to 2 tablespoons Easy New York Style Russian Dressing
about 2 tablespoons high-quality sauerkraut
a couple thin slices Swiss cheese (a good Emmental makes a big difference)
1. Mix all the dressing ingredients together.
2. Preheat the broiler.
3. Pile a bunch of turkey on the rye bread. Drizzle with as much dressing as you dare. Cover with a layer of sauerkraut and then a layer of Swiss cheese. Broil until cheese is melted and a bit browned.
