Turkey Reuben Sandwiches
Smoked turkey stands in for corned beef in this lightened variation of a deli favorite. Serve with a pickle wedge and chips.

We've had these many times. I typically omit the mustard and use our panini press so no oil is needed. Very tasty and easy.
Why wouldn't you serve them to company?
I really liked this recipe, my hubby not as much. I used marbled rye bread and wish I did not use as much sauerkraut.
soooo good!! love these!
I like this version. I'm not a fan corned beef but my husband is and he likes this lighter version. I do make my own lighter "thousand island" dressing though.
These sandwiches are good. I wouldn't serve them to company, but for a light, healthy take on the classic reuben, we really enjoyed these! I will make them again.
Good, quick sandwich for lunch.
Delicious, simple, and very filling meal! I went light on the sauerkraut, but boyfriend loved it. Thousand island adds a great sweetness.
Fabulous, easy sandwich to make. Very tasty and flavorful!
This recipe is...ok. It's good, but not brilliant. I personally don't think it has the same amount of flavor as a regular reuben. But if I'm looking for something a little lighter, I think I'd consider making this again
I was expecting greatness. These sandwiches were good, but nothing amazing. I even used full-fat thousand island dressing...
I have to say it was great. I made my own 1000 dressing which was ketchup, sweet pickle relish and light mayo. I was afraid it would be a failure recipe but it was really good. I grilled them like grilled cheese as well.
DH really loves these! Healthy, delicious, and makes an easy weeknight meal.
This was an excellent use of leftover turkey and easy to make - great idea for a casual supper. I used a Foreman Grill - which worked very well, heating the entire sandwich. Will definitely make again!
Only three stars because this is just a classic sandwich recipe for which you don't really need a recipe. But it's good! No need for oil if you use cooking spray. I made the thousand-island dressing elsewhere on the CL website, and it was easy to make and better than bottled.
Tried this for a quick evening meal and both my husband & I thought it was delicious. I was unable to find any rye bread in our area so had to use whole wheat but it turned out great. It is a keeper.
Delicious! A great, fast and easy weeknight meal. My teenager asked me to make them again--and again and again. And I will!
Big hit with family. A really fast meal that is very good. I used my George Foreman grill and it worked well with this recipe.
Outstanding. I made my own dressing using CL's recipe from "Iceberg Lettuce Wedges with Thousand Island Dressing" and used 1/2 oz shredded full-fat swiss (per sandwich), and still only calculate about 300 cals. Whatever the count, they are great. I love traditional reubens, and while these are obviously light, that just means not as greasy! 2 minutes was plenty of time for the second side, they were starting to get a little dark.
I love this sandwich and it is a wonderful alternative to the traditional Reuben. I recalculated the nutritional information and I do not know how a previous reviewer got over 400 calories for this sandwich. With the rye bread I used at 80 calories a slice, the turkey and cheese added another 115 calories. Adding the oil and dressing, I estimate my nutritional value was 325 calories. A delicious light sandwich that I will make again.
These sandwiches were delicious! I didn't believe they'd be that good with fat free Thousand Island, but they delivered! I am very disappointed, though, with the nutritional information that My Recipes has provided. 255 calories per sandwich? Hardly. I knew that couldn't be right based on the bread alone. With the bread I used (which was 120 calories/slice), each sandwich was 430 calories, and I used vegetable spread instead of oil to cook them. Great sandwiches, just don't be fooled in to believing they're light.
