Prepare the smoked turkey by seasoning it with 1 tablespoon granulated garlic, 1 tablespoon seasoned salt, and 4 tablespoons black pepper, then let it sweat for 15-20 minutes.

Smoke the turkey breast at 275°F until it reaches an internal temperature of 170°F, then wrap it in butcher paper and add a pad of butter while it rests.

Prepare the homemade coleslaw by chopping red cabbage, red onion, jalapeno, and green onion into small juliennes.

In a bowl, mix the chopped vegetables with a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper, 3 tablespoons of sugar, 6 tablespoons of mayonnaise, and 6 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar.

Taste the coleslaw and adjust seasoning if necessary, then set aside.

Slice the smoked turkey as thin as possible after it has rested.

Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

Spread Russian dressing on the unbuttered side of each slice of bread.

Layer the sliced turkey on one slice of bread, followed by Swiss cheese and a generous amount of coleslaw.

Top with the second slice of bread, dressing side down.

Heat a griddle on low and place the sandwich on it, cooking until golden brown, managing the temperature to avoid burning the bread and cheese.

Flip the sandwich carefully and grill the other side until golden brown and the cheese melts, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove from the griddle and let rest for a minute before slicing.

Cut the sandwich in half and serve warm.
