Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Rye bread
- 8 oz Sliced deli-style turkey breast
- 4 slices Reduced-fat Swiss cheese
- 0.75 cup Sauerkraut
- 4 tbsp Light Thousand Island dressing
- 1 for greasing Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Lay out the slices of rye bread on a clean surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of light Thousand Island dressing on one side of each slice.
Top 2 slices of bread with 4 ounces of sliced turkey breast each.
Divide the sauerkraut evenly and layer it over the turkey (approximately 3/8 cup per sandwich).
Place one slice of reduced-fat Swiss cheese on top of the sauerkraut for each sandwich.
Complete the sandwich by topping with the remaining slices of bread, dressing side down.
Lightly grease the skillet or griddle with cooking spray.
Carefully place the sandwiches on the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, allow to cool slightly, and cut them in half before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Lightweight Turkey Reuben!
