Recipe: Smoked Sausage Reuben Sandwiches (serves 2)

SMOKED SAUSAGE REUBEN SANDWICHES

2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chili sauce
4 slices seeded rye bread
8 thin slices Jarlsberg Lite or other low-fat Swiss cheese (about 3 ounces total)
6 ounces 97% fat-free smoked sausage or kielbasa
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 cup sauerkraut

In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and chili sauce. Spread the dressing on one side of each slice of bread. Top each slice with 2 slices of cheese. Set aside.

Slice the sausages on the diagonal into long, thin slices.

In a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low, heat the oil. Add the sausages to the skillet and saute until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes. Divide the sausages between 2 of the slices of bread, arranging the slices in even layers.

Add the sauerkraut to the skillet and stir until heated through, about 2 minutes. Divide it between the two sandwiches, spreading it over the sausages. Top with the remaining prepared bread slices.

Place the sandwiches in the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and cook until the sandwiches are browned on both sides and the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes per side.
