Arby’s has you covered this Thanksgiving if you’re looking to enjoy festive flavors on the go.
This season, the fast-food chain is bringing back two famous fall sandwiches that fans adore, making it easy to get a taste of Thanksgiving without the need to cook a big meal.
Here’s what to know about Arby’s limited-time Thanksgiving menu with turkey-packed sandwiches and new seasonal treats.
Thanksgiving Flavors in the Spotlight
We’ve spent October celebrating Halloween with spooky-themed treats like “Werewolf Tracks” and “Frosty Frights,” but with November on the horizon, it’s time to shift focus.
Arby’s understands that Thanksgiving deserves its moment to shine, and they’re keeping the holiday spirit alive with seasonal flavors, helping us hold onto the tastes of autumn a little longer.
Arby’s Thanksgiving Menu Returns
For those who’ve enjoyed Arby’s Thanksgiving-inspired sandwiches in the past, you’ll be happy to know that they’re back! This year’s lineup includes two classic sandwiches with holiday flavors:
the Deep Fried Turkey Gobbler and the Deep Fried Turkey Club. Both are only available for a limited time, so fans will want to ensure they get all the benefits.
The Thanksgiving menu first debuted in 2017 and has returned almost yearly due to popular demand. While the sandwiches remain similar to their original versions, each year brings subtle changes.
Previously, the sandwiches featured cranberry sauce, but this season introduces a new flavor twist with a special herb-infused sauce.
The Deep Fried Turkey Gobbler
One of the seasonal stars, the Deep Fried Turkey Gobbler, brings together several classic Thanksgiving flavors in one delicious sandwich. Here’s what you’ll find layered inside:
- Thick-cut, deep-fried turkey breast
- Crispy fried onions
- Everything seasoning
- Melted Swiss cheese
- Fresh lettuce and tomato
- A creamy herb spread with hints of sage and garlic
- A toasted brioche bun
Each ingredient is chosen to provide a perfect balance of textures and flavors, making this a unique take on a Thanksgiving meal you can enjoy in a single bite.
The Deep Fried Turkey Club
Alongside the Gobbler is the Deep Fried Turkey Club, another fall-inspired favorite. This sandwich is similar to the Gobbler but with its twist on Thanksgiving flavors:
- Thick-cut, deep-fried turkey breast
- Crispy bacon
- Melted cheddar cheese
- Lettuce and tomato
- Mayo
- Served on a buttery brioche bun
The Turkey Club combines classic ingredients to bring out the savory flavors of the season. It’s a satisfying option for anyone who loves the comforting taste of Thanksgiving.
Missing This Season: The Deep Fried Turkey Wrap
Arby’s has also included a Deep-Fried Turkey Wrap in previous years as part of its Thanksgiving menu. Unfortunately, this fan-favorite wrap hasn’t been cut this season.
Although many fans will miss this wrap, there’s plenty of excitement around the Gobbler and the Club sandwiches.
Fans’ Reactions to the Seasonal Favorites
The return of these Thanksgiving-inspired sandwiches has thrilled Arby’s fans, who express their love for the deep-fried turkey options every year.
One loyal fan raved, “I LOVE the deep-fried turkey!”
Others hope these sandwiches might even make it onto the menu year-round, with some going so far as to say they prefer Arby’s Thanksgiving options over the well-known Wawa Gobbler Hoagie—a bold statement.
New Additions to Arby’s Seasonal Menu
In addition to the beloved turkey sandwiches, Arby’s has introduced a couple of new fall-themed treats:
- Pumpkin Pie Turnover: A sweet, flaky turnover filled with creamy pumpkin filling—perfect for those who want a quick pumpkin dessert.
