Instruction

  • In a large skillet, heat the oil, over medium-low to medium

  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramel in color, about 20 minutes
  • Stir in ¼ cup water and stir to evaporate, 1 to 2 minutes
  • Remove heat and stir in the sour cream
  • Meanwhile, for the sandwiches, in a small pot, warm the sauerkraut and the caraway and cumin seeds over low heat until just heated through, about 5 minutes
  • After the onions have cooked for about 15 minutes, heat griddle or grill over medium
  • Lightly butter one side of each break slice and build sandwiches by layering the mustard, half of the cheese, a little sauerkraut, the turkey, onion dip, and then the remaining cheese between the bread slices (buttered sides out)
  • Cook until the bread is golden and the cheese melts, about 2 minutes per side
  • Cut in half
  • Serve with pickles and chips
