After looking at the recipe, we can totally see why he was so passionate about his tasty lunch!

Filming for the long-awaited Friends reunion is believed to start later this summer after it was postponed due to the coronavirus lockdown. In preparation for its release, we take a look at the food you need to perfect ready for a day in front of the TV.

Ross' recipe is perfect for using up leftover roast ingredients

We've already got dessert sorted thanks to recipe box company Gousto revealing how to make the delicious cheesecake that Chandler and Rachel stole from their neighbours. For the main course, we've got our sights set on recreating Ross' Thanksgiving leftovers sandwich, also known as "the moist-maker". It was aptly named due to its clever ingredients, which include all the delicious leftovers of the turkey feast as well a layer of bread soaked in gravy. It may have been created for Thanksgiving, but we'll be making this all year round...
