Heart Healthier Turkey Reubens

We just got back from our favorite little bavarian town of <a href=”http://www.leavenworth.com”>Leavenworth</a> and boy I could have used one of these healthier options for the reuben.  It’s amazing how you get used to less greasy foods and the real thing just doesn’t taste as good anymore.  Give this reuben a try and add some yummy german potato salad made with cidar vinegar as a side dish with carrot sticks.  You’ve instantly got a dinner out of a lunch idea.
