I was thumbing through a Mens Health magazine a few weeks ago and spotted a few recipes that I was interested in trying. The Reuben sandwich is one of my all time favorite sandwiches. I would have usually overlooked this type of recipe, but the fact that it was made with turkey instead of the traditional corned beef was rather interesting. I wasn’t sure how it would hold up to the traditional, but I figured I would give it a shot. While it is not as good as the original Reuben you might have with the full fat dressing, cheese and corned beef, it is still a tasty sandwich and would go great with a side of veggies or potato salad.
