TURKEY REUBEN BURGERS



Turkey Reuben Burgers image

I'm not a big fan of turkey burgers, but finding ground turkey on sale and some on-hand ingredients inspired this recipe. Most of the ingredients can be substituted or exchanged based on taste. Don't let the few ingredients in the burger itself fool you....it's got lots of flavor for a turkey burger. Feel free to add 8 oz. or more sliced mushrooms to the onions when cooking, if you happen to be a mushroom lover. This is great with sweet potato fries and/or a spinach salad. Serve with additional thousand island dressing for dipping.

Tips:

  • If you don't have a deli slicer, you can thinly slice the corned beef by hand. Just be sure to use a sharp knife and slice against the grain.
  • To make the Thousand Island dressing, simply combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth. You can adjust the amount of mayonnaise and ketchup to taste.
  • If you don't have sauerkraut, you can substitute with another type of fermented cabbage, such as kimchi or pickled cabbage.
  • To assemble the Reuben burger, simply place a slice of Swiss cheese on the bottom bun, followed by the corned beef, sauerkraut, Thousand Island dressing, and the top bun.

Conclusion:

The Reuben burger is a delicious and hearty sandwich that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover corned beef.
