Here is Min Din’s take on a Rueben sandwich. Different yes! Just as tasty? You better believe it. I skipped the bread on this one, and instead reached for some amazing frozen cauliflower patties from Trader Joe’s. That isn’t the only swap I made. Instead of corned beef we will be using turkey and instead of thousand island dressing we top it off with some Jalapeño sauce. I know you have it in your fridge because we used it for our tuna tacos last week. So pretty much the only thing that is the same as a traditional Rueben is the sauerkraut, actually the one we use has pickles so I take that back. This is supposed to serve 6, but I have to be honest I couldn’t stop at just one. Yes, it is that good.

Directions
Step 1: Spray a pan with a little olive oil spray and set your stove top to m/h place defrosted cauliflower patties all around the bottom of the fry pan.
Step 2: Open the turkey breast package and using a knife cut up the turkey into chunks directly in the package so you have thick chunks that you will place over all the patties. ( you will have a bit of turkey left over)
Step 3: Add sauerkraut over the top of the turkey, and then pour 8T of the Jalapeño sauce over top
Step 4: Top with the shredded cheese and cover the pan until all the cheese melts and everything is nice and hot.
Step 5: Enjoy!
