Instructions

• Make the Russian dressing: in a bowl combine 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup ketchup, 1 tablespoon grated horseradish (drained), 2 teaspoons finely minced onion, and a couple dashes hot sauce (optional). Stir until combined. This makes enough dressing for about 4 sandwiches.
• Lay out two slices of raisin pumpernickel bread on a work surface.
• Spread Russian dressing on one side of each bread slice — enough to moisten the bread to your preference.
• On one dressed slice (dressing side up) arrange the 6 slices of smoked peppered turkey.
• Place the 1 slice of muenster cheese on top of the turkey.
• Melt the cheese slightly: place the open sandwich in a toaster oven briefly until the muenster softens and starts to melt. Watch carefully to avoid overcooking.
• Remove the sandwich from the toaster oven and layer the alfalfa sprouts over the melted cheese.
• Add the 2 slices of tomato, then the 4 slices of avocado on top of the sprouts.
• Finish the sandwich by placing the other dressed bread slice on top (dressing side down). Serve immediately.
