The Rachel Sandwich is a flavorful variation of the classic Reuben, rooted in American deli cuisine. It typically features thinly sliced turkey or smoked turkey breast as the centerpiece, layered with tangy coleslaw, Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing, all sandwiched between two slices of rye bread and grilled to perfection. Its origins stem from adapting the Reuben for a lighter, poultry-based option, making it a popular alternative. Nutritionally, the Rachel provides protein from the turkey and calcium from the cheese, while the coleslaw offers fiber and vitamins depending on preparation. However, it can be high in sodium and fat due to the dressing, cheese, and grilling process. For a healthier version, opting for whole-grain rye, low-fat cheese, and a lighter dressing can enhance its nutritional benefits without sacrificing flavor. The Rachel is a satisfying choice for anyone seeking a creative twist on a traditional deli classic.
