Arby’s embraces the Thanksgiving spirit with its new Deep-Fried Turkey Gobbler sandwich, joining the returning Turkey Club for a limited time this November. Packed with deep-fried turkey, bacon, and savory herb spread, these seasonal sandwiches deliver a festive twist on fast food.
Arby’s Deep Fried Turkey Gobbler Brings Autumn Flavors to Fast Food with a Savory Twist
With Halloween in the rearview and Thanksgiving stepping into the spotlight, they offer a brief pause before the winter holiday rush. For the next few weeks, as Americans focus on festive foods, Arby’s is introducing two seasonal deep-fried turkey sandwiches that aim to capture the spirit of November. The chain, known for its deep-fried turkey sandwiches since 2017, has rolled out the new Deep Fried Turkey Gobbler alongside the returning Deep Fried Turkey Club. According to Arby’s chief marketing officer, this year’s launch allows fans to enjoy the “juicy, flavorful Deep-Fried Turkey” without the hassle of preparing it themselves.
The limited-time Deep Fried Turkey Gobbler, available at participating U.S. locations through November, features a lineup of ingredients intended to bring a touch of autumn to fast food. Priced at a suggested $6.49 (though prices vary by location), the sandwich consists of deep-fried turkey breast, bacon, Swiss cheese, crispy onions, tomato, leaf lettuce, an herb spread, and everything seasoning on a brioche bun. The turkey is seasoned with a blend of salt, brown sugar, and tapioca starch, while the herb spread includes an array of ingredients such as distilled vinegar, egg yolk, chicken meat, mustard seed, and turmeric. For those tracking nutritional content, the Gobbler provides 507 calories, with 21 grams of fat, 32 grams of protein, and 1,705 milligrams of sodium.
Upon trying the Gobbler, reviewers noted the fluffy brioche bun and the sandwich’s generous portions of turkey and crispy onion strings. However, not all ingredients impressed—some felt that the tomatoes and lettuce contributed more moisture than flavor. The onion straws, meanwhile, maintained their crunch, complementing the tender, deep-fried turkey breast, which, though devoid of a noticeably fried texture, was praised for its freshness.
Arby’s Herb Spread Shines in New Turkey Gobbler, Offering a Unique Seasonal Flavor Boost
In terms of taste, the herb spread became a focal point. Resembling ranch dressing in appearance, the spread’s buttery, savory flavor was a hit, elevating the sandwich and even proving versatile as a dip for curly fries. Though light on traditional Thanksgiving flavors like cranberry or stuffing, the Gobbler’s appeal lies in its balance of textures and savory elements, distinguishing it from the more straightforward Deep Fried Turkey Club, which relies on bacon, cheddar, and mayo for its flavor profile.
Arby’s customers can choose either sandwich this season, with both options enhanced by adding the herb spread. For those seeking a satisfying seasonal bite with a hint of holiday spirit, the Deep-Fried Turkey Gobbler provides a hearty option—albeit one that leaves some wishing for a more extended stay on the menu.
