Tips for Making the Best Turkey Rubens
- Use high-quality ingredients: Start with a good quality deli turkey. You can also use roasted turkey leftovers. The bread should be fresh and sturdy, such as rye or sourdough. The sauerkraut should be well-drained and rinsed.
- Don't skimp on the sauce: The sauce is what really makes a Reuben sandwich special. Use a good quality Russian dressing or Thousand Island dressing. You can also make your own dressing using mayonnaise, ketchup, and spices.
- Don't overcook the sandwich: The sandwich should be cooked just long enough to melt the cheese and warm the ingredients. Overcooking will make the bread soggy and the cheese tough.
- Serve the sandwich immediately: A Reuben sandwich is best served hot and fresh. The bread will start to get soggy if it sits for too long.
