Guilt-Free Grilled Reuben: You'll love it!
Ingredients
Ingredients for Thousand Island Dressing:
- ¼ cup The BEST Skinny Ranch Dressing or light mayonnaise, such as Best Foods/Hellman’s
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 2 teaspoons pickle relish
- 1 teaspoon yellow or spicy brown mustard
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
Ingredients for Grilled Sandwiches:
- 8 slices rye bread (I like Oroweat extra sour rye bread)
- 8 teaspoons reduced-fat butter or Smart Balance Light
- 8 ounces lean pastrami or turkey pastrami, or lean corned beef, see shopping tip
- 1⅓ cups sauerkraut, drained and rinsed
- 4 slices reduced-fat Swiss or Jarlsberg cheese
- 2 tablespoons spicy brown or yellow mustard
Instructions
- To make the dressing: In a small bowl mix together all dressing ingredients.
- To assemble: Spread 1 teaspoon butter on each slice of bread. Place 4 slices on your work surface, buttered side down. Spread 1 tablespoon of dressing on each of the 4 slices. Distribute pastrami evenly over dressing, followed by sauerkraut and cheese. Spread inside of the other 4 slices with mustard and place on top, buttered side up.
- Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Put sandwiches in pan (in batches, if necessary), cover, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the undersides are golden brown. Uncover and turn sandwiches with a spatula, pressing firmly to slightly flatten them. Cook for 1-2 minutes more until the undersides are golden brown. Turn sandwiches again, press with the spatula and cook for 30 seconds or until cheese has melted completely.
- Serve immediately.
