Quick answer: Arby’s Deep Fried Turkey Gobbler came back on 26 October 2026 at participating US locations. It costs around $6.49 to $7.39, depending on where you live, and there’s no fixed end date — Arby’s simply says it’s “while supplies last.”
That’s the short version. Now let’s get into what’s actually in the sandwich, why the price moves around, and when you should go grab one before it vanishes for another year.
What Is the Arby’s Deep Fried Turkey Gobbler?
This sandwich truly is a whole Thanksgiving meal, served in between two halves of a sub roll. The sandwich consists of 1/4lb of thick sliced turkey that has been deep fried instead of baked, filled with stuffing, cranberry, swiss cheese, crisp onion and mayo. As Arby’s have said it really is the “Ultimate Thanksgiving sandwich”. This truly does taste like you’re eating your leftovers from your holiday meal.
The sandwich was first launched in 2024 and received an update in 2025. Instead of the previous brioche roll and herb spread, it now contains the stuffing and cranberry filling and has been moved onto a sub roll. This recipe has stayed the same in 2026 so if you tried it last year you will know exactly what to expect.
What’s Actually in the Sandwich?
Here’s the full ingredient list, straight from Arby’s:
- A quarter pound of thick-sliced, deep-fried turkey breast
- Savoury stuffing
- Tangy cranberry spread
- Swiss cheese
- Crispy fried onions
- Mayo
- A toasted sub bun
Nothing fancy, nothing hidden. It’s built to taste familiar, not to surprise you. The cranberry adds sweetness, the onions bring some crunch, and the stuffing does the heavy lifting on that “holiday” flavour everyone’s chasing.
How Much Does the Gobbler Cost in 2026?
This is where it gets a bit messy, because Arby’s doesn’t set one national price. Franchise locations set their own, so your local price can swing by a dollar or more depending on where you live.
| Item | Typical Price |
| Deep Fried Turkey Gobbler (sandwich only) | $6.49 – $7.39 |
| Deep Fried Turkey Gobbler Meal (fries & drink) | $11.59 – $12.98 |
| Deep Fried Turkey Club (sandwich only) | $6.29 – $6.99 |
| Deep Fried Turkey Club Meal | $11.29 – $12.58 |
A Los Angeles location charged $6.49 for the Gobbler on launch day, while other markets reported prices closer to $7. Your safest bet is checking the Arby’s app or your local store directly before you order, since the menu board price is the one that actually counts.
How Long Is It Available?
Arby’s doesn’t typically give a specific cutoff date for when they will stop offering this sandwich this year. They just say “limited time offer” and “while supplies last.” Which basically means once the turkey sandwich is sold out at their location it will be gone until next year. In previous years they have usually offered it through most of November, so there’s a good chance it will last up until close to Thanksgiving. But no promises.
You shouldn’t wait until the week of thanksgiving to try this sandwich. As supply issues affect popular locations first.
Gobbler vs Club: Which One Should You Order?
Both sandwiches use the exact same deep-fried turkey base, so the choice really comes down to whether you want a holiday-flavoured sandwich or a straightforward one.
Pick the Gobbler if: you want that stuffing-and-cranberry combo and don’t mind a sweeter, richer bite. It’s the one that actually tastes like Thanksgiving.
Pick the Club if:You’d be better off having a more traditional turkey sandwich without the cranberry. We’ve got bacon, cheddar, lettuce and tomato.
Honestly, you’d want to go out of your way to get the Gobbler. While the Club is good it’s something you can get from most sandwich shops throughout the year. However, Gobbler is only available once a year and that stuffing and cranberry combo is harder to find elsewhere on any fast food menus.
Nutrition Facts: Is It Actually That Bad for You?
Honestly, yes, a little — but it’s a once-a-year treat, not a daily lunch order. A single Deep Fried Turkey Gobbler runs about:
- 690 calories
- 28g fat (10g saturated)
- 74g carbs (14g sugar)
- 36g protein
- 2,130mg sodium
That sodium number is the one to watch — it’s close to the full daily recommended limit in one sandwich. If you’re keeping an eye on salt intake, skip the fries and stick with a side salad instead.
