Ross Geller’s Turkey Moist Maker Sandwich in all its glory. Turkey breast, stuffing, cranberry sauce and the important moist maker layer, this is the sandwich of your dreams.
Turkey Moist Maker Sandwich, just say it to yourself over and over again because no, you’re not living in Ross Geller’s dreams, you are seeing one of the best sandwiches…ever.
Yesterday I posted my recipe for Slow Cooker Crispy Turkey Breast (which was brought to you by the non-profit organization, The National Turkey Federation) and today I’m sharing my favorite way use that delicious turkey in a sandwich. I’m dating myself a bit here, but I went through all of high school and college watching Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe and my love, Joey (yes I was one of the 15 people who watched all two seasons of Joey).
Need a refresher in how awesome this sandwich is? Here’s a clip of poor Ross’ meltdown when someone ate his sandwich.
The sandwich is sweet from the cranberry sauce, savory from the turkey, salty from the gravy fresh from the tomato and lettuce and crunchy from the stuffing. This Turkey Moist Maker Sandwich is not just about reliving the glory days of Friends, but it’s also an amazingly well balanced sandwich. Monica definitely knew what she was doing.
You can certainly make this sandwich after Thanksgiving with your leftovers but we made this sandwich all year round. I’d rather not wait until November so I took about thirty minutes and made the stuffing (any of your favorite stuffing recipes) and gravy from my Slow Cooker Crispy Turkey Breast and we’ve been enjoying the most awesome Turkey Moist Maker Sandwich for lunch all week.

Shouldn’t the recipe be called the Monica Geller Turkey Moist Maker sandwich as she is the one that makes it?
I guess that would work too, haha!
Well, as Thanksgiving day concludes I can say that tomorrow I will me making this sandwich with my leftovers! I’ve been waiting to try this since I’ve seen the episode! It looks amazing!
MY SANDWICH?! MY SANDWICH?! Hahaha, enjoy! Happy Thanksgiving!
ha-ha-haaa MY SANDWICH…MY SANDWICH!!! yummy + mouthwatering but no tomato. (greetings from Kaiserslautern, Germany)
The turkey leftover sandwich with the moist maker was actually Monica’s invention. She made the sandwich for Ross who then made a big deal about it. Let’s give credit to the right person! The recipe looks great though. Personally, I like using chipotle sauce as a moist maker. I think Monica would approve 🙂
I maintain ownership rights belong to Ross since he proclaimed “MY SANDWICH, MY SANDWICH!”, though as a Chef I can appreciate Monica wanting to take credit for it as well. LOL! 🙂
This…Is…Awesome..
I am gonna try this as one of the food for gaining mass. It looks huge..haha..scary even. I mean why would anyone eat this unless you are bulking?:O
Obviously, I am from a different culture. HAHA. Greetings from Singapore by the way!
And who doesn’t love Joey..haha..
This post seriously make me LOL! Poor Ross.
I know, right? It was the only good thing in his life!
Oh my gosh, this is the sandwich of my dreams!! I cannot wait to try this amazing sandwich (seriously, how could Ross’s boss ever throw any of this out?!)!

Haha! This is fabulous! 🙂 And I miss Friends…
Nothing like a good homey turkey sandwich with all the fixings. Your recipe soudn divine I wish I had a sanwish like this now
I am listening to Friends right now! I knew exactly what you were going for when I read the title. The pictures sell it, this looks mouthwatering, so delicious!
I was happy to bring Ross’s treasured sandwich to life!
Holy yum!! I’m not much for deli turkey sandwiches but give me a chunk of fresh turkey and I’m all in. 🙂
This sandwich is calling my name!
When I got my first apartment, one of the first things I did as an independent “adult” was make stuffing not on Thanksgiving. It felt so rebellious! Stuffing on a turkey sandwich in the middle of the year is amazing. Love Friends, btw, but I had completely forgotten about this sandwich!
Love that middle layer 😀 Great for texture and even more flavor!
Haha, yes! Definitely thought of thanksgiving. but I’m not one for “seasonal-only” 😉
