21 Sep Reuben Redux
Difficult to photograph, but easy to make. This lighter and healthier version of the traditional Reuben replaces corn beef with turkey. Sauerkraut and Thousand Island give it just enough bite to balance the meat and cheese. Play around with a homemade Thousand Island and you’ll cut cals without sacrificing flavor. Thank you Recipe Redux for giving us an excuse to whip together this classic sandwich.
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 4 slices Pumpernickel or Rye Bread
- 4 slices Boar’s Head Oven Roasted Turkey Breast
- 2 slices Cabot Reduced Fat Swiss Cheese
- 1/2 cup Sauerkraut
- 1/4 cup Thousand Island Dressing or homemade Thousand Island
- (check out Cooking Light’s Russian Dressing recipe)
Preheat large skillet on low-medium heat. Butter each side of bread and build sandwich on skillet. Spread Thousand Island Dressing. Layer one slice Cabot Reduced Fat Swiss Cheese and 2 slices Oven Roasted Turkey Breast. Top off with Sauerkraut, and grill for 2-3 minutes.

Posted at 09:01h, 22 SeptemberI’ll admit to not being a sauerkraut fan, but your sandwich looks so yummy, I might be convinced to try it again! I rarely eat it anymore, but 1000 Island Dressing was my favorite as a kid. There is one neighborhood Prime Rib joint my family and I eat at every now and then, and I always get my salad there with 1000 Island. Happy ReDux!

Posted at 23:15h, 23 SeptemberThis lighter healthier reuben looks delicious. I’ve been a reuben fan for as long as I can remember, next time I’m definitely trying it with turkey. Thanks.

Posted at 09:10h, 01 OctoberI really think you’ll enjoy it with turkey and although healthier, it doesn’t sacrifice flavor.
