Healthy Reuben

[Richard Foor 655]

I love reuben sandwiches and have been craving them lately, so I decided to come up with a healthy version. So I start with 1/4 cup sour kraut (rinsed) put it in a skillet on medium heat, next I take 2 slices of Aldi's 98% Fat Free Turkey Breast (slice it down to small strips) and throw that in the skillet, stirring for a little bit. Next I Take 2 tbsp., Aldi's Fit and Active Fat Free Thousand Islands dressing and stir that in. Next I take a slice of Aldi's Fit and Active Reduced Fat Swiss cheese and melt it on top. Next I take a clean griddle and I take a Aldi's Fit and Active Whole wheat Flatbread and cut it in half, using just 1 half(save the other half for later). I place the flatbread on the griddle, scoop the mixture onto it and fold it over, grill it till it gets crisp flip and grill the other side till crisp. Place on plate and enjoy.

I have also made variations of this using corned beef from a can which is very good but 2 oz of corned beef instead of the turkey adds 90 calories, it also reduces 4 carbs and adds 3 grams of Protein, but that total of 314 calories seems a bit much to me. But it would work with just about any kind of meat you like (just substitute the nutritionals from what meat you use for the turkey which is calories 60, carbs 4, Protein 10).

No pictures, it never happened.

Yeah, unfortunately I ate it before I could take a picture so maybe next time I will get the picture, but the smell of a good reuben makes it hard to think about taking pictures. lol

Have you tried boarshead pastrami or pastrami turkey- both are surprisingly lean!

Ah Ha, you just saved my panini maker from destruction - sounds like a fantastic recipe and will be on my solid food list when ever that starts. Thanks!
