Description

This Grilled Turkey Reuben Sandwich is a delicious twist on the classic Reuben, featuring tender sliced cooked turkey breast, tangy sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and creamy Thousand Island dressing, all layered between rye bread and grilled to golden perfection. Perfect for a hearty lunch or quick dinner, this sandwich combines savory, tangy, and creamy flavors with a crispy buttery crust.

Ingredients

Bread and Spread

  • 8 slices rye bread
  • 1/4 cup Thousand Island dressing

Sandwich Fillings

  • 8 oz sliced cooked turkey breast
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, drained

For Grilling

  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bread with dressing: Spread Thousand Island dressing evenly on one side of each slice of rye bread to add tangy flavor and moisture.
  2. Assemble the sandwich fillings: On four slices of the bread, layer the sliced cooked turkey breast, drained sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese carefully to build the perfect filling.
  3. Top the sandwiches: Place the remaining bread slices on top of the fillings, dressing side down, to complete each sandwich.
  4. Butter the outside: Spread the softened butter on the outer sides of each sandwich to ensure a golden, crispy crust when grilled.
  5. Heat the skillet or griddle: Warm a skillet or griddle over medium heat to prepare for grilling the sandwiches evenly.
  6. Grill the sandwiches: Place the sandwiches onto the heated skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the bottom side is golden brown.
  7. Flip and continue grilling: Carefully flip the sandwiches and grill the other side for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until it is golden brown and the Swiss cheese has melted.
  8. Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the heat, slice each in half, and serve hot to enjoy the melty, flavorful goodness immediately.

Notes

  • Make sure the sauerkraut is well-drained to avoid sogginess.
  • Use softened butter for easier spreading and better browning.
  • You can substitute turkey breast with corned beef for a traditional Reuben flavor.
  • Add a pickle or coleslaw on the side for a classic deli experience.
  • Grill on medium heat to ensure the cheese melts without burning the bread.
