Ingredients

Homemade Thousand Island

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 teaspoon sweet pickle relish
  • 2 teaspoons onion, finely chopped
  • teaspoon salt

Reuben Sandwich

  • 4 pieces rye bread
  • 1 tablespoon butter, softened
  • 2 slices Swiss cheese
  • 6 ounces thinly sliced deli turkey
  • ½ cup sauerkraut, drained

Instructions

Homemade Thousand Island

  • In a small bowl mix together all ingredients for thousand island dressing. This will make more than needed for two sandwiches so reserve the remaining amount for another sandwich or salad.
  • After dressing is mixed prepare sandwiches in either a large skillet or a griddle. Heat griddle to 300 degrees or skillet to med high heat. Butter one side of each piece of rye bread. Lay two pieces buttered side on griddle.
  • Next layer Swiss cheese, turkey, sauerkraut and drizzle with a tablespoon of thousand island on top of bread slices.
  • Top with remaining pieces of bread, buttered side up. Use a spatula to gently press and flip sandwiches. You want the bread to be slightly golden brown.
  • Cook other side for 2-3 minutes until it is golden brown too. Cut in half and serve with pickles.
