The best ever Thanksgiving leftover sandwich

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!
