Arby’s Deep Fried Turkey Gobbler is back with stuffing and cranberry

Arby’s brought back its Deep Fried Turkey Gobbler and Deep Fried Turkey Club on Oct. 26 for a limited time. The Gobbler stacks fried turkey, stuffing and cranberry on a sub bun.

Thanksgiving in a sandwich is back. Arby’s returned its Deep Fried Turkey Gobbler on Monday, Oct. 26, for a limited time at participating U.S. locations, according to an Inspire Brands release.

The Deep Fried Turkey Club came back with it. Both are around “while supplies last,” and Arby’s didn’t give an end date.

People noticed fast. “Arby’s deep fried turkey gobbler” showed up on Google’s U.S. trending searches Oct. 28.

What’s on the Arby’s Deep Fried Turkey Gobbler?

It’s basically a Thanksgiving plate stacked on bread. Per Arby’s release, the Gobbler has:

• A quarter pound of sliced deep-fried turkey

• Crispy onions

• Swiss cheese

• Stuffing

• Cranberry spread

• Mayo

• A toasted sub bun

That’s the same build Arby’s used last year, so if you liked it in 2025, you know what you’re getting. Arby’s says it’s back “by popular demand.”

What’s on the Deep Fried Turkey Club?

The Club skips the holiday sides and goes classic. It has deep-fried turkey, bacon, cheddar, tomato, lettuce and mayo on a sub bun, per the release.

If stuffing on a sandwich sounds wrong to you, this is your pick. If stuffing on a sandwich sounds like the best idea ever, the Gobbler is right there.

Both use the same sliced deep-fried turkey, and the Gobbler gets a full quarter pound of it. Piling sliced meat high is pretty much Arby’s whole thing, so the turkey fits right in next to the roast beef.

The difference is mostly sweet versus salty. The Gobbler leans sweet with cranberry and stuffing, while the Club leans salty with bacon and cheddar. If you can’t pick, nobody’s stopping you from ordering both and calling it a tasting.

How much is the Arby’s Gobbler?

Arby’s didn’t list prices. Brand Eating spotted the Gobbler at $6.49 and the Club at $6.29 at a Los Angeles location.

Prices change by location, so yours might be a little higher or lower. Check the Arby’s app before you go, since it also shows whether your local store is actually carrying them. “Participating locations” is doing some work in that release.

When did Arby’s first make deep-fried turkey sandwiches?

The Deep Fried Turkey Club first launched in 2017 and came back in 2020, according to a 2024 Inspire Brands release.

The Gobbler showed up in 2024 as an “all-new” sandwich. That first version was different, though. It came on a brioche bun with everything seasoning, herb spread, lettuce and tomato.

In 2025, Arby’s switched the Gobbler to the stuffing and cranberry version on a sub bun. That’s the one back now.

How long will the Gobbler be at Arby’s?

Arby’s only says “limited time.” The “while supplies last” line means some locations could run out before others, especially as Thanksgiving gets closer.

If you want one, go sooner rather than later. You can order in the drive-thru, in the store or in the Arby’s app, where deals pop up from time to time. Thanksgiving is Nov. 26, and some fans like to grab a Gobbler as a warm-up for the real thing. Others want it the day after, when the leftovers are gone.

And for anyone who doesn’t cook a turkey at all, it’s the low-effort version of the whole holiday. No brining, no thermometer, no fire extinguisher next to the fryer in the driveway.

Is Arby’s selling anything else for the holidays?

Last year, Arby’s paired the turkey sandwiches with an Apple Pie Shake. The 2026 release doesn’t mention it, so don’t count on it until your local menu shows it.

The release also doesn’t list any new sides or desserts this year. The turkey sandwiches are the whole show.

The Gobbler joins a busy fast food holiday season. McDonald’s rolled out its holiday menu this week, and Starbucks’ holiday drinks are on the way, with Red Cup Day set for Nov. 17.

Arby’s is part of Inspire Brands, which also owns Dunkin’, Sonic, Buffalo Wild Wings, Jimmy John’s and Baskin-Robbins. So yes, the same company selling you a fried turkey sub might also be selling you your morning coffee. Honestly, that’s a pretty good combo.
