Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz sliced turkey pastrami
  • 4 slices rye bread toasted
  • 2 slices Swiss cheese
  • spicy brown mustard to taste
  • pickle slices for crunch
  • 1 tbsp butter for grilling

Instructions
 

  • Lightly toast the rye bread slices in a skillet or toaster.
  • Warm the turkey pastrami slices in a pan for 1-2 minutes for extra juiciness.
  • Spread spicy brown mustard on each slice of bread.
  • Layer turkey pastrami, Swiss cheese, and pickles between two slices of bread.

Notes

Customize your sandwich with spicy jalapeƱos, chipotle mayo, or even a fried egg for breakfast. Wrap tightly in parchment if packing ahead. For a healthier twist, use whole grain bread and fresh veggies like avocado or sprouts.
