To celebrate the start of winter, Subway is adding a Corned Beef Reuben and a Turkey Ruben to its sandwich lineup. Perfect for cooler temperatures, these sandwiches are packed with enough meat to help consumers beat the winter blues.
The new Reuben Duo from Subway, consists of two different takes on the popular Reuben sandwich. The Corned Beef Reuben is the more traditional of the two and consists of freshly baked rye bread topped with corned beef, Bavarian-style sauerkraut, Thousand Island dressing and melted Swiss cheese. For those who prefer a leaner meat, the Turkey Reuben swaps corned beef for a double portion of roasted turkey breast and the same combination of sauerkraut, Thousand Island dressing and Swiss cheese. Both sandwiches give consumers an easy way to enjoy a familiar comfort food on a moment's notice.
