Turnip Reuben

Occasionally, I gotta pull out a turnip recipe to keep my name official. I made this sandwich last year, but the version here has some significant upgrades. I made the "pastrami" slices thinner by using a potato peeler instead of a mandolin. It took more time, but it was worth it. The marinade does an excellent job penetrating the turnip slices, adding to the overall flavor. Marinating the turnips makes a big difference in texture as well. Stacked on rye bread and paired with sauerkraut, mustard, vegan thousand island dressing, dill pickles, and melted vegan cheese, this sandwich is straight fire!
