Tempeh Reuben Sandwich

A vegan twist on the classic Reuben sandwich, using marinated tempeh in place of corned beef.

Ingredients - Serves 4

Slice the tempeh into thin strips and place in a shallow dish.
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Pour over the tempeh and let marinate for 15 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the marinated tempeh. Cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes.
Spread one side of each slice of bread with the Thousand Island dressing.
Top 4 slices of bread with the cooked tempeh, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese. Top with the remaining slices of bread, dressing side down.
Spread the outside of each sandwich with vegan butter.
Return the skillet to medium heat and add the sandwiches. Cook until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes per side.
