Turkey Burger Rachel Sandwich

Author Michele Phillips, BaconFatte.com

Ingredients

  • 1/2 - 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2 - 4 Tbsp butter, softened
  • 4 - 8 slices good pumpernickel, rye or marbled bread
  • 4 - 8 Tbsp Reubenesque Sauce - or Thousand Island
  • 1/2 - 1 cup good sauerkraut, drained (about 1/4 cup per sandwich)
  • 4 - 8 slices Swiss cheese (I like using "Lacy" Swiss)
  • 4 - 8 slices good pastrami, thickly sliced
  • fresh pea sprouts or micro greens to garnish (optional)
  • salt & pepper to taste (for seasoning turkey burgers)

Instructions

  1. Divide ground turkey into four ¼ pound patties – sized appropriately for the bread you’re using. Season turkey patties to taste with S& P, and cook in a skillet with a little melted butter over medium heat until cooked through (internal temperature should be 160-165°F). Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.

  2. Carefully wipe the skillet clean, and return to medium heat.

  3. Butter one side of each slice of bread and place into a heated skillet - buttered side down - to toast.

  4. Once toasted, flip bread over so toasted sides are up.

  5. Add 1 Tbsp (or more, to taste) sauce to each slice, then Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and pastrami. Then place 1 – 2 turkey burger(s) and/or slices of pastrami on top with the second slice of toast. Warm for 2 – 3 minutes per side, and enjoy immediately.
