TURKEY REUBEN BURGERS
I'm not a big fan of turkey burgers, but finding ground turkey on sale and some on-hand ingredients inspired this recipe. Most of the ingredients can be substituted or exchanged based on taste. Don't let the few ingredients in the burger itself fool you....it's got lots of flavor for a turkey burger. Feel free to add 8 oz. or more sliced mushrooms to the onions when cooking, if you happen to be a mushroom lover. This is great with sweet potato fries and/or a spinach salad. Serve with additional thousand island dressing for dipping.

Steps:
- For the kraut: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

ROWING TEAM'S TURKEY REUBEN WRAPS
My kids and the rest of their rowing team love these wraps. At their regattas, which last from sun-up to sun-down, we moms have to feed over 100 people (50 'starving' teenagers and their families). We assemble the wraps outside on portable tables and mix the coleslaw in a huge 20 gallon storage container! Several moms form an assembly line to build the wraps. We then roll them in paper and store them in coolers for lunch and snacking all day long. They hold up well and the leftovers are still good the next day!

TURKEY REUBEN
Steps:
- 1. In a medium bowl, combine coleslaw mix and Italian salad dressing; set aside. 2. Spread Thousand Island salad dressing on one side of each bread slice. Place four of the bread slices, dressing sides up, on a work surface; top with turkey, cheese, tomato, and coleslaw mixture. Top with remaining bread slices, dressing sides down. 3. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook sandwiches, half at a time, for 4 to 6 minutes or until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted, turning once. If desired, serve with cucumber spears. Makes 4 servings.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality bread. A sturdy bread, such as rye or pumpernickel, will hold up well to the sandwich's fillings.
- Slice the turkey thinly. This will help the sandwich be easier to eat.
- Use a good quality sauerkraut. A well-made sauerkraut will have a slightly sweet and sour flavor.
- Don't skimp on the dressing. A good dressing will add a lot of flavor to the sandwich.
- Grill or pan-fry the sandwich until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. This will help the sandwich be extra delicious.
Conclusion:
The Turkey Reuben is a delicious and classic sandwich that is perfect for any occasion. With its combination of savory turkey, tangy sauerkraut, creamy dressing, and melted cheese, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give the Turkey Reuben a try. You won't be disappointed!
