Dressing (can be made ahead):
1. Combine mayonnaise, ketchup and relish. I like to make this to taste, but it's good to start with 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 1/2 teaspoons of ketchup and a forkful of relish. Mix, taste, and determine what you need next. The color should be a dusty salmony rose (though in this picture it looks a more orangy-tan.)

Sandwich:
2. Generously spread dressing on 2 slices of rye bread;
3. Slice turkey, or use deli turkey, and layer on bottom piece of bread. When using deli turkey, I like fold pieces in half and layer them over each other to create a thicker sandwich. I also layer every-other with my cheese (see photo below.) Alternatively, if you don't want to be fancy, layer cheese above turkey;

4. slice two thin cuts of cranberry sauce or use 1-2 tablespoons and layer over the swiss cheese;
5. spoon 1-2 scoops sauerkraut over cranberry sauce (consider your tastebuds here, you can always add more!);

6. cover with top slice of bread;

7. melt butter in a skillet, then "fry" the sandwich on medium heat until both sides are golden;
8. slice and enjoy!
