Arby's brought back its Deep Fried Turkey Gobbler and Deep Fried Turkey Club on October 26, 2026, according to an official announcement from parent company Inspire Brands. The seasonal sandwiches are offered at participating U.S. locations for a limited time, while supplies last. The company has not published a single nationwide price in that announcement.

What's in the Arby's Deep Fried Turkey Gobbler?

The Gobbler combines a quarter pound of thick-sliced deep-fried turkey with crispy onions, Swiss cheese, stuffing, cranberry spread and mayonnaise on a toasted sub roll. The combination is designed to evoke a Thanksgiving plate in sandwich form: savory turkey and stuffing balanced by sweet-tart cranberry.

Those ingredients come from Arby's October 26 product announcement, not a menu photo or a guess about a recipe. Customers with food allergies should verify the current allergen information for their location, because the description alone is not a complete ingredient or cross-contact disclosure.

How is the Deep Fried Turkey Club different?

The Turkey Club also starts with a quarter pound of deep-fried turkey, but uses bacon, cheddar cheese, tomato, lettuce and mayonnaise. It is a more conventional deli-style sandwich, without the Gobbler's stuffing, cranberry spread and crispy onions.

The difference is useful when deciding what to order. The Gobbler is the overtly holiday-themed option; the Club offers a turkey-and-bacon combination. Neither sandwich should be assumed vegetarian, dairy-free or gluten-free based on its name.

When and where can customers buy the sandwiches?

Arby's says both items became available Monday, October 26, at participating restaurants nationwide. The company describes the promotion as limited time and subject to supplies. It lists in-restaurant ordering, drive-thru, online ordering and the Arby's app as possible purchase channels.

That wording does not mean every location has both items in stock every day. Before traveling to a particular restaurant, consumers can check the current menu for their selected store in the official ordering system or call the location. Availability can change during a seasonal promotion.

How much does the Gobbler cost in 2026?

Inspire Brands' announcement does not set a nationwide menu price. Independent food coverage reported local examples, including a Los Angeles price of about $6.49 for the Gobbler and $6.29 for the Club. Those figures are examples from a specific market, not a verified U.S.-wide price list.

Sales tax, delivery fees, app offers and restaurant-specific pricing can change the total. Anyone comparing value should use the checkout total at their location rather than a headline price from another city.

Why are these sandwiches trending before Thanksgiving?

Arby's has brought back turkey-focused seasonal sandwiches in previous years, making the lineup familiar to returning customers. The 2026 promotion arrives ahead of Thanksgiving and gives people an early version of holiday flavors without preparing a full meal. The company calls it a limited-time return rather than a permanent menu addition.

The broader consumer angle is straightforward: a seasonal item can create demand, but availability and price are local. Arby's has not announced an exact nationwide end date for the 2026 promotion in the cited release.

What should shoppers check before ordering?

Confirm the selected restaurant, current item listing, customization options, allergy information and final total. For those looking specifically for stuffing and cranberry, choose the Gobbler rather than the Club. For a simpler turkey-and-bacon profile, choose the Club. Both descriptions refer to the announced 2026 recipes and may be subject to restaurant-level substitutions or stock limitations.
