Turkey Rachel Melt

Turkey, Swiss, drained coleslaw and Russian dressing make a Rachel with a cool cabbage center and crisp rye shell. Griddle turkey and cheese first, then add slaw after the sandwich leaves the pan. That preserves both the crunch and the cold contrast that distinguishes it from a Reuben.
