Ingredients

8 (1/2-ounce) slices thin-slice rye bread
¼ cup fat-free Thousand Island dressing
8 (1/2-ounce) thin slices reduced-fat Swiss cheese
¼ cup refrigerated sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
8 ounces deli, low-sodium turkey breast (such as Boar's Head)

Directions

Step 1
Spread one side of each bread slice evenly with 1 1/2 teaspoons dressing. Place one cheese slice on dressed side of each of four bread slices; top each with 1 tablespoon sauerkraut and 2 ounces turkey. Top each sandwich with 1 cheese slice and 1 bread slice, dressed side down. Coat the outside of the sandwich (top and bottom) with cooking spray. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sandwiches to pan. Place a cast-iron or other heavy skillet on top of sandwiches; press gently to flatten sandwiches (leave cast-iron skillet on sandwiches while they cook). Cook 2 minutes on each side or until browned and cheese melts.

I don't know about "worthy of a special occasion" but definitely better than "good". We used turkey pastrami and used our panini press. Perfect.

Excellent. I made it in a panini press.

Easy and full of flavor. The cooking spray worked well and did not alter the taste of the sandwich(which is what I had feared). Yummy Yummy!

This was well received by my family. I to made my own Thousand Island dressing using a Cooking Light recipe. My family ate it right up.

What a simple idea and boy was it good! I enjoyed it so much I wanted to make another one but that would defeat the purpose of eating healthy :o) It had a great flavor and was super easy to make!

Wow! These were delicious! I made my own Russian dressing (low-fat mayo, ketchup, relish and a little garlic powder). My son and husband love Reuben sandwiches, and I was happy to find a way to make these a healthier choice. Super fast, also.
