Leftover turkey from Thanksgiving? No problem! Try a turkey reuben! You’ll love this delicious twist on a classic sandwich!

Many of you have already printed off my recipes for Turkey Pot Pie and my After Thanksgiving Casserole in anticipation of your Thanksgiving or Christmas leftovers. This time I thought I ‘d share a great leftover turkey sandwich idea, Turkey Reubens! This sandwich is also known as a Turkey Rachel in some places since the traditional corned beef of a reuben is being swapped out for turkey. Either way, this sandwich recipe is a keeper!

What’s on a Turkey Reuben?

Sliced or shredded leftover turkey breast meat, swiss cheese, thousand island dressing, and sauerkraut served between sliced of rye bread!

How to make a Turkey Reuben:

This is all you need to make these Turkey Reubens. Just leftover turkey, pumpernickel or rye bread, swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and thousand island dressing. I recommend toasting the pumpernickel or rye bread slices before making the sandwich to prevent sogginess. Spread both sides of the toasted bread with the thousand island dressing. On one side of the sandwich place some turkey. I like to break it up just with my fingers so that the turkey is somewhat shredded. Top the turkey with a slice of swiss cheese and place under a broiler for about 30 seconds or until the cheese is melted. Put the desired amount of sauerkraut of the other side of the sandwich. Top the turkey/cheese side of the sandwich with the sauerkraut side and enjoy!

What to serve with a Turkey Reuben:

Chips and deli pickles go great with this sandwich!
