Grilled Turkey Rachel #WeekdaySupper

Grilled Turkey Rachel
Turkey Rachels are Turkey Reuben’s little sister in the sandwich world. When I worked in a New York deli on Long Island, native New Yorkers called them “sloppys”. Cole slaw tends to do that to a sandwich! I think I like the term “Rachel” better. 😉

Some people prefer mustard but I like mine with Thousand Island dressing.

I’m making these quick, easy grilled sandwiches for #WeekdaySupper.

You can make the slaw ahead and use bottled Thousand Island. The hardest part is deciding what kind of turkey to choose. I like a honey roasted breast. Traditional oven roast or even smoked turkey will also taste great.

These sandwiches can be served open-faced too! Just grab your knife and fork.
