Turkey Reuben Bake Recipes

TURKEY REUBEN

Steps:

• For the kraut: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Add the stock, juice, pickling spice, black pepper, bay leaf, cabbage and bacon to a pan, cover and cook until the cabbage is softened, about 45 minutes. Once soft, remove from the heat and allow to cool. Then separate the cabbage and save the stock. After the cabbage is cooked, slice the quarters very thin and cover with the rice wine vinegar. Season and finish with a small amount of lemon juice.
• For the dressing: Mix the ketchup, mayo, relish, balsamic, salt, celery seed and white pepper in a bowl.
• To assemble: Put some butter on the grill. Place the bread on the buttered grill until golden brown. Place 1 slice of cheese on each slice of bread. Mix 2 tablespoons of the dressing with 1/4 cup of kraut per sandwich, place on the grill and warm throughout. Place the kraut and 4 ounces turkey on 4 bread slices. Top with the remaining bread.

TURKEY REUBEN

Steps:

• For the 18,000 Island dressing: Roughly chop the pickled jalapeños and Quick Pickles and add them to the mayonnaise in a large bowl. Add the ketchup, mustard, granulated garlic, salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine and set aside.
• For the reubens: Preheat a griddle over low heat. Butter one side of each piece of bread and place butter-side down on the griddle. Toast until browned. Meanwhile, add the turkey to the griddle in piles to warm. Add the sauerkraut in 2 separate bundles to the same griddle. Spoon a generous amount of dressing on top of the sauerkraut and cover each with 2 slices of Swiss cheese. Cover with a lid or large inverted bowl to warm and allow the cheese to melt, about 30 seconds. Add the Quick Pickle brine to the griddle and cover to allow the cheese to steam and fully melt.
• Place the sauerkraut on top of the turkey, then remove it to a slice of toasted rye. Top with a second piece of toasted rye. Slice in half on the diagonal and plate the sandwich on top of sweet potato fries to prevent the bottom of the sandwich from steaming, and to catch any drippage. Enjoy warm.
• Add the vinegar, sugar, mustard seeds, salt, garlic, bay leaf and 1/2 cup water to a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sugar has dissolved, then add the cucumbers and dill to a heatproof container and pour over the pickling liquid. Let sit for at least 10 minutes.
