The Simple Sandwich Jeff Goldblum Calls 'The Love of His Life'

What can I say about Jeff Goldblum ? The legendary actor has a voice as smooth as butter and a sense of style and classiness that's hard to find in men of this current generation. From Jurassic Park to Independence Day to The Fly , his movies are timeless. He's about to play The Wizard in the movie adaptation of Wicked and I'm beyond excited.
And just as I didn't think I could love Goldblum any more, I discovered that he has another superpower: making awesome sandwiches . I gave his turkey sandwich a try to see if lives up to the hype (we're rooting for you, Jeff!).
During a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" session (where he declared "Ask me anything, I'm an open-faced sandwich"), Jeff Goldblum revealed that his recent go-to sandwich creation is a turkey sandwich with Swiss cheese and Russian dressing. "When I was a kid, every day I had a bacon lettuce tomato sandwich," he says. "Then at some point, I switched to tuna fish sandwiches. Then turkey and Swiss with Russian dressing. Now I try to stay in the healthier vein, but I love every moment of my sandwich life." We're going to dive into what makes this sandwich so special.
Ingredients Needed for Jeff Goldblum's Turkey Sandwich
To channel your inner Jeff Goldblum, you'll need sliced deli turkey, Swiss cheese, your bread of choice (we recommend rye) and Russian dressing (homemade or store-bought; I made mine).
First, make your Russian dressing first, which easier than you think! (You can follow this recipe .) Whisk together mayo, horseradish, chili sauce, onion powder, hot sauce, paprika and Worcestershire sauce. Grab your sliced bread and pile on the turkey. The sky's the limit here so add the slices neatly until you're satisfied with how it looks (I used 4-5 slices on mine). Add a couple of slices of Swiss cheese and spread the Russian dressing on both slices of bread.
What I Thought About Jeff Goldblum's Turkey Sandwich
Now, this isn’t just any old turkey sandwich—it's got a special Goldblum flair due to the zingy Russian dressing that drips out with every bite. I felt like I was right at home in a New York deli, savoring every bite, instead of where I actually was, in my tiny kitchen eating this over the sink.
I have to say, Jeff Goldblum knows his sandwiches. This turkey creation is a delightful upgrade from my lunchtime go-to turkey and cheese wrap. The Russian dressing, with its horseradish zing, is the real star here, adding a kick I never knew my sandwiches needed.
Making my own Russian dressing was a breeze, and I highly recommend it. The freshness of the ingredients adds a touch of gourmet flair that store-bought versions just can’t match. And the nutty Swiss feels right at home on this one, adding just the right amount of flavor without totally taking over. This sandwich might be simple, but it's proof that even a few small tweaks can take a lunch staple from everyday to extraordinary.
Try it toasted. If you like your sandwiches warm, throw it in a hot pan for a couple of minutes on each side until the cheese starts to melt slightly. Oooooooooh, oh gosh, instant panini vibes!
