Reuben Turkey Burgers are seasoned ground turkey that’s made into burgers and topped with a pile of  homemade sauerkraut and swiss cheese for a twist on the traditional Reuben sandwich.

How do you make a Reuben sandwich healthier?  It’s easy, ditch the processed meat and replace it with a seasoned organic turkey burger.  It’s the perfect companion for the sauerkraut, swiss cheese and a dollop of mustard.

Reuben Turkey Burgers

These burgers are a healthy way to satisfy a Reuben craving.  Ground turkey is lower in fat, salt and does not contain nitrates.  Top these burgers off with a splash of Dijon mustard, grilled rye bread and a few homemade pickles on the side.

We love these turkey burgers!  You can cook them on top of the stove or grill them.  Whichever way you choose to make them, they are full of flavor.

    The Reuben is my absolute favorite sandwich of all time! I would have to put a generous amount of thousand island dressing on mine too. 🙂

    This burger sure is mouth watering! If I used some garlic with the turkey to make the patty do you think it was alter the flavor of the recipe too much? Thanks for sharing, I can’t wait to make this at home!

    LOVE the idea of turning a reuben into a burger! That makes it so much easier for some reason. I can definitely do this for dinner without the bread. Thanks for the idea!

    Wow, such a great idea! I would never have thought to put sauerkraut and swiss on a turkey burger to make a Reuben burger. My hubby will love this on some rye buns!
