Turkey and Cranberry Reuben Sandwich puts holiday sparkle in the classic kraut filled sandwich with cheese.
Turkey and Cranberry Reuben Sandwich
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Turkey and Cranberry Reuben Sandwich is my recipe of the day with my newest blogging group “Sunday Funday”. We get together weekly and take turns with hosting themes.
We had a quick start and turnaround, so for my first event (I will be doing the third Sunday) (or having a guest host) I decided to do a theme of “That Holiday Feeling”. I expect most bloggers have a holiday related recipe or three tucked away. And wouldn’t have any pressure joining in.
For my recipe, I made a turkey reuben sandwich with some leftover cranberry sauce tucked in. To make things copacetic with the kraut I cooked it up with orange instead of apple or beer. I think the orange brings it around to the turkey and cranberry. Cranberry orange always being a great combination. Plus it brightens the flavors.
These are on trimmed bolillo rolls, or you could use French or Italian bread. I wanted to keep the bread lighter in flavor so as not to crowd the other ingredients.
It’s really a tasty sandwich, so I hope you do give it a try. Especially with any leftovers you have this year.Even with a small turkey, I know we will have lots left with our very small group.
