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.

With its combination of savory turkey, tangy sauerkraut, creamy dressing, and melted cheese, the Turkey Reuben is sure to be a hit with everyone.
