Who doesn’t love a good Reuben sandwich!? Well, maybe not those of us following the Weight Watchers program, once we realize a typical Reuben sandwich is loaded with WW points! But good news -this Turkey Reuban Panini Sandwich is only 6 WW personal points.
I love panini’s because I adore warm sandwiches. And getting a panini press was one of the best investments I ever made because it instantly turns a boring, old and cold sandwich into a HOT meal! There’s just something cozier about eating a warm sandwich and this is one of my very favorite sandwiches!
Ingredients
- ▢150 g oven roasted turkey breast meat (cold cuts or leftover turkey) * about 6 slices
- ▢4 teaspoon mustard
- ▢4 slices low – fat swiss cheese slices
- ▢1 cup sauerkraut, drained and squeezed * measure AFTER it’s drained and liquid has been squeezed out
- ▢8 slices rye bread
Garnish
- ▢dill pickles, sliced
- Instructions
- Heat panini press.
- Spread 1 teaspoon of mustard evenly on 4 pieces of bread.
- Top each piece of bread with mustard on it, with turkey meat, dividing evenly between all 4 pieces of bread.
- Drain and squeeze liquid from sauerkraut, then place it on top of turkey, dividing evenly between the 4 sandwiches.
- Add one slice of swiss cheese to each sandwich and top each sandwich with the remaining slice of bread.
- Place sandwiches on panini press and lower top. ** You do not need to add butter or anything else- it will not stick!
- Cook for 5 minutes (approximately) until it has grilled brown ridges (as in photos)
- If cheese is not yet melted, move the setting to “melt” until cheese is melted.
- Serve with dill pickles and enjoy!
- Notes
- *Note: If you don’t have a panini press, you can still make this using a frying pan as you would a grilled cheese ..
