Smoked Turkey Reuben
- 12 ounces sauerkraut, very well drained
- 8 slices sprouted-grain bread, such as Ezekiel 4:9
- 1/2 cup Russian Island Dressing (page 203) or store-bought low-calorie Russian or Thousand Island Dressing
- 4 slices reduced-fat Swiss cheese (1 ounce each)
- 8 ounces sliced smoked turkey (from the deli counter)
- Nonfat cooking spray
- Place the sauerkraut in a microwave-safe bowl and cover it with plastic wrap.
- Microwave on high power until it is hot, about 2 minutes.
- Heat 2 nonstick saute pans over medium-low heat.
- Lay 4 slices of the bread on a work surface, and spread each slice with 1 tablespoon of the Russian Island Dressing.
- Top each slice with a slice of cheese, and then a portion of the smoked turkey.
- Divide the warm sauerkraut among the 4 sandwiches, and spoon the remaining Russian dressing over the sauerkraut.
- Finally, top the sandwiches with the remaining slices of bread.
- Spray the saute pans generously with cooking spray, and place 2 sandwiches in each pan.
- Weigh the sandwiches down with plates that are just slightly smaller than the circumference of the pans.
- Cook the sandwiches for about 4 minutes per side, or until the bread is crispy and golden brown and the cheese has melted.
- Cut the sandwiches in half, and serve.
