While I was putting tonight’s dinner together, Joe found it pretty funny that I was calling my sandwich a reuben.
He asked me, "So what exactly is a reuben?"
I said, "It’s a pastrami sandwich on grilled rye bread with Russian dressing, sauerkraut, and melted Swiss cheese."
Then he said in a confused tone, Aaaaand what are you making again?
"Um… a peppered turkey and provolone wrap with sauerkraut and Russian dressing?"
Well, whatever it is. It’s good.
The Non-Rueben Rueben Wrap (serves 1 not too traditional gal)
I started out by making my own Russian dressing with 1 Tbsp. light mayo, 1/2 Tbsp. ketchup, and a diced dill pickle.
I spread that on a large wheat wrap
And piled on some peppered turkey
On top of that I put some drained kraut (and took a few bites from the can straight because I’m gross like that)
Then on the tippy top is some provolone cheese.
Bake in the oven on 400 for about 7 minutes, and voila! The Non-Reuben Reuben wrap is ready.
I served mine with roasted eggplant and parsnip fries.
Have you ever had a Reuben?
What is your favorite sandwich/wrap combo?
There’s a place in Asheville, NC with THE BEST tempeh reuben… I think it’s actually the bestestestest sandwich on earth. Truth.
Oooooh sounds great! I actually have tempeh in the fridge. Do you know how they make it?
Oh my gosh! I totally eat the ‘kraut right from the jar/can too!! It’s SOOO good!
I knew I wasn’t alone! LOL
Mmm, reuben. yes, I love them! this looks delicious!
It was so good, I think the best part was the homemade russian dressing!
I definitely did this the other day! I called it the Unclassically Classic Reuben.
LOL!! Great minds think alike!
True Story, I used to LOVE reuben sandwiches! Back when I used to work at a car dealership there was this local place that had amazing ones and my co workeers and I would get them twice a week, they were so good! I have not had one in prob 5 years! Wow! I would not want one now, my eating habits are not the same ; ) I like this idea !
Have a great night girl!

[...] NRRW and a few remaining parsnip fries. I ate most of them cold. Does anyone else do that? I love cold [...]
Mmmmm…. that peppered turkey looks so yummy! I’m going to put that on my grocery list
