The best ever Thanksgiving leftover sandwich

Thanksgiving is all about the leftovers right? In our family, we always make extra food for Thanksgiving so we can actually have leftovers to make turkey sandwiches with stuffing and cranberry sauce. One bite into this sandwich and you'll feel like you're having a Thanksgiving dinner all over again.

I'm so excited to share this Thanksgiving turkey sandwich recipe with you and honestly I'm mostly sharing it because of the amount of love I have for Friends because this is really not a difficult sandwich to make. But it's very important to Ross. Because, as we all know, he was going through so much: he's got divorced for the second time, he didn't have a place to live, and this sandwich was the only good thing going on in his life:

What goes into a Thanksgiving Sandwich?

Ross Geller's sandwich is no joke. It has everything on a classic Thanksgiving menu in form of a sandwich including:

Turkey leftovers
Cranberry Sauce
Gravy
Stuffing
Mashed potatoes if available

What's the secret to a great Thanksgiving sandwich recipe?

First of all, layers. You should layer the ingredients in a way that they make sense: Turkey with gravy and stuffing with cranberry sauce. And if you have some mashed potatoes left, throw that in as well.

And of course, who can ever forget: THE MOIST MAKER. This is what makes Ross Geller's Thanksgiving sandwich worth everything he went through. We all love Thanksgiving sandwich with the moist maker and keep making it every year with the leftovers and I bet you'll love it as well!

But, what is a moist maker?

The moist make is an extra layer in the middle of a Thanksgiving sandwich. It's a piece of bread that is soaked in gravy to absorb all the flavor. The moist maker brings the whole sandwich together and gives flavor to all the layers in every bite.

How to make a Thanksgiving leftover sandwich

Basically, this is how I make Ross's Thanksgiving sandwich with the moist maker:

Spread mayonnaise on a piece of bread. I prefer whole wheat or sour dough but white bread would work too.
Top it with some greens (if desired)
Add thick slices of turkey.
Dip a piece of bread in gravy and place it on the turkey, this is the moist maker.
Top the moist maker with some stuffing.
Add cranberry sauce.
Top with another piece of bread spread with mayonnaise.

The amount of stuffing and cranberry sauce really depends on how you would like your sandwich to taste. But make sure you have a good moist maker in the middle of the sandwich!
