I don't like traditional reubens because they are too damn greasy, and the sauerkraut is blechy. I'd be willing to try one with cole slaw substituted, though!

And just like oatmeal cookies, raisins have no business being in coleslaw.
Neither oatmeal cookies nor raisins have ANY business being in coleslaw.
"What's a California Rueben?"
"Low-sodium turkey instead of corned beef, no-fat coleslaw instead of sauerkraut. Low-fat swiss cheese. Low-fat thousand island dressing."

"So, low-fat ass on bread, eh?"
These are like muffalettas without olives, right?
Don't even start.
I love turkey Reubens, though! With sauerkraut. I've never had one with coleslaw, but I imagine I would like it. Maybe I have, though. I want a turkey Reuben now.
I only eat my thousand-island dressing the way the food gods intended me to - on my Big Macs.
(Not a large fan of pastrami or sauerkraut or thousand-island.)

Zingermans makes a turkey rueben with coleslaw.
(Actually, I do put cilantro in my coleslaw. Shhhhhhh.)
Zingermans makes a turkey rueben with coleslaw.
See, this is exactly where I get my generous definition of a rueben. Zingerman's had like five or six variations on the rueben, and they all had "rueben" in their name. The rueben is a very poly sandwich.
I don't mind the turkey reuben. It is not, in fact, a reuben, but it is an enjoyable sandwich. Makes you feel slightly better about the fried bread, the gobs of cheese, and the river of dressing.
Damn, now I want a rueben, and may have to be talked out of going to Krupin's. Perhaps the asstastic traffic will dissuade me.
