Although variations on the Reuben sandwich throughout America may or may not include turkey as a component ingredient, an all-turkey Reuben is necessarily referred to by its female variant. As for the origins of the Rachel, I can happily attest that the sister of Peter Rotherberg - cousin to one of the four acknowledged possible inventors of the Reuben sandwich, Jacob Reuben of New York AND the innovator who implemented the Russian dressing component of the dish - one Rachel Stein (nee Rothenberg) did in fact relocate to the city by way of the Jarrod Robichaux Culinary and Kitchen Sciences laboratories, where she performed demonstrations of cooking within the "Single Kitchen/Dual Stovetop" architecture heralded in contemporary design of the time. Her preferred demonstration material involved the in-kitchen creation of - the turkey Reuben, or the eponymous "Rachel." -Delancey Courtwhite, Researcher, SandwichUniversity.com For the record, a “turkey Reuben” is in fact not a “Reuben” at all, but rather Reuben’s slim younger relative “Rachel.” Although variations on the Reuben sandwich throughout America may or may not include turkey as a component ingredient, an all-turkey Reuben is necessarily referred to by its female variant.
