Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3 scallions, white parts and 2 inches of green, finely chopped
1 8-ounce can sauerkraut, drained and rinsed
1 small apple, peeled and grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 to 3 tablespoons chili sauce
2 teaspoons capers, chopped, plus 1 teaspoon liquid
8 slices dill pickle, plus 1 teaspoon pickling liquid
8 slices seeded rye bread
1 pound deli-sliced turkey
1 1/2 to 2 cups grated Swiss cheese (about 6 ounces)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the scallion whites and cook, stirring, until light brown, about 3 minutes. Add the sauerkraut and apple and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauerkraut is lightly browned and dry, about 10 minutes. Add half of the scallion greens and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute.
  • Preheat the broiler. Mix the mayonnaise, chili sauce, the remaining scallion greens, the capers and their liquid, and the dill pickling liquid in a small bowl.
  • Spread about 1/2 teaspoon butter on one side of each bread slice. Place 4 slices, buttered-side down, on a foil-lined baking sheet. Spread each with some of the mayonnaise mixture, then layer the turkey, dill pickles and sauerkraut mixture on top. Sprinkle with the cheese and broil until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes.
  • Spread more of the mayonnaise mixture on the unbuttered sides of the other 4 bread slices; place buttered-side up on the sandwiches. Return to the broiler until golden, turning once, about 2 minutes.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 20

8 cups chicken stock
1 cup apple juice
1 tablespoon pickling spice
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 bay leaf
1 head white cabbage, quartered
2 pieces bacon, rough chopped
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
Lemon juice, as needed

TURKEY REUBEN

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 tablespoons sliced pickled jalapeños
2 tablespoons Quick Pickles, recipe follows, plus 1 tablespoon Quick Pickle brine
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 slices marble rye
8 ounces thinly sliced turkey pastrami or thin deli-sliced cracked pepper turkey
1 cup sauerkraut, drained
4 slices Swiss cheese
Cooked sweet potato fries, or your favorite fries, for serving
2 cups white wine or champagne vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, lightly smashed
1 bay leaf
1 English cucumber, sliced into 1/8-inch-thick rounds
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • For the 18,000 Island dressing: Roughly chop the pickled jalapeños and Quick Pickles and add them to the mayonnaise in a large bowl. Add the ketchup, mustard, granulated garlic, salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine and set aside.
  • For the reubens: Preheat a griddle over low heat. Butter one side of each piece of bread and place butter-side down on the griddle. Toast until browned. Meanwhile, add the turkey to the griddle in piles to warm. Add the sauerkraut in 2 separate bundles to the same griddle. Spoon a generous amount of dressing on top of the sauerkraut and cover each with 2 slices of Swiss cheese. Cover with a lid or large inverted bowl to warm and allow the cheese to melt, about 30 seconds. Add the Quick Pickle brine to the griddle and cover to allow the cheese to steam and fully melt.
  • Place the sauerkraut on top of the turkey, then remove it to a slice of toasted rye. Top with a second piece of toasted rye. Slice in half on the diagonal and plate the sandwich on top of sweet potato fries to prevent the bottom of the sandwich from steaming, and to catch any drippage. Enjoy warm.
  • Add the vinegar, sugar, mustard seeds, salt, garlic, bay leaf and 1/2 cup water to a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sugar has dissolved, then add the cucumbers and dill to a heatproof container and pour over the pickling liquid. Let sit for at least 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the turkey reubens in a panini press or on a griddle.
  • To make the reubens ahead of time, assemble the sandwiches and wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours before grilling.
  • Serve the reubens with your favorite sides, such as potato chips, coleslaw, or French fries.

Conclusion:

Grilled turkey reubens are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a weekend lunch. They are also a great way to use up leftover turkey from Thanksgiving or Christmas. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a sandwich that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give grilled turkey reubens a try.
