Arby’s ensures we recognize Thanksgiving as Halloween wraps up and we look ahead to the holiday season.
While the food world often moves straight from spooky treats to festive winter flavors, Arby’s has brought back two fan-favorite Thanksgiving-inspired sandwiches, helping us savor the taste of fall just a little longer.
These limited-time holiday sandwiches first debuted in 2017, and they’ve become so popular that fans eagerly await their return each fall.
Although Arby’s has slightly tweaked the recipe each year, this season’s options are packed with comforting, Thanksgiving-inspired flavors in two mouthwatering combinations.
Arby’s Limited-Time Thanksgiving Menu Returns
Arby’s seasonal Thanksgiving menu is back, featuring two deep-fried turkey sandwiches that combine the flavors of a holiday feast with the convenience of fast food.
Both sandwiches star thick-cut, deep-fried turkey breast, bringing a delicious twist to traditional turkey day meals.
These two returning sandwiches – the Deep Fried Turkey Gobbler and the Deep Fried Turkey Club – showcase warm flavors, classic holiday ingredients, and tasty toppings packed into a drive-thru-friendly meal. Let’s take a closer look at what each sandwich has to offer:
The Deep Fried Turkey Gobbler Sandwich

- Flavor Profile: This sandwich captures the taste of Thanksgiving with every bite, thanks to the combination of crispy onions and a savory herb spread.
The Deep Fried Turkey Club Sandwich

Why Arby’s Thanksgiving Sandwiches Are So Popular
Ever since these sandwiches first appeared, they’ve quickly become a seasonal sensation. Fans love the combination of tender, deep-fried turkey with holiday-inspired ingredients, and some even say they prefer these to Wawa’s famous Gobbler Hoagie.
The subtle adjustments Arby’s makes each year keep things fresh while keeping the core flavors fans adore.
One notable change this season? Past versions included a cranberry sauce, but this year, Arby’s has swapped in a savory herb spread, giving the sandwiches a creamy, aromatic finish that complements the turkey.
