Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices rye bread

  • 1 pound sliced turkey (instead of corned beef)
  • 1/2 pound approximately 1 cup sauerkraut, drained
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon grated or finely chopped shallot
  • 1 tablespoon horseradish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Russian dressing by mixing mayonnaise, ketchup, chopped shallots, horseradish, hot sauce, sweet paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
