Arby’s Deep Fried Turkey Gobbler and Deep Fried Turkey Club returned to participating US restaurants on 26 October 2026 for a limited time. Both use a quarter pound of thick-sliced deep-fried turkey. The key choice is the topping combination: stuffing and cranberry spread in the Gobbler, or bacon, tomato and lettuce in the Club.
The chain’s 26 October announcement presents the return as its seasonal Thanksgiving lineup. That explains the holiday ingredients, but a national launch notice does not establish what a particular restaurant has left. For customers deciding what to order, the useful comparison is between the two sandwiches and the store that will fulfil the order.
Gobbler or Club: what changes in the sandwich
The Gobbler combines turkey with Swiss cheese, crispy onions, stuffing, cranberry spread and mayonnaise on a toasted sub bun. Stuffing and cranberry are the distinguishing holiday additions. Someone specifically looking for the Thanksgiving-style sandwich should select the Gobbler by name rather than assume every returning turkey item has those ingredients.
The Club uses the same stated turkey quantity and toasted sub bun, with bacon, cheddar, tomato, lettuce and mayonnaise. It does not list stuffing or cranberry spread in the announced recipe. The choice therefore changes the accompanying ingredients and cheese; the launch description does not suggest that one sandwich contains more turkey than the other.
Choose the pickup store before comparing an order
The official site lists both sandwiches in its Limited Time category. For pickup, select Order Pickup, then use the Select Store For Pickup screen to enter a city, state or ZIP code. This is a more concrete starting point than relying on a national promotional image: it identifies the restaurant whose menu and ordering options matter to the customer.
The announcement also permits ordering in the restaurant, at the drive-through, online or in the Arby’s app. Before completing an order, check the chosen store’s listing and order total. We did not establish a store-specific price or inventory in this review, and the national announcement supplies no single price that can safely be quoted for every US location.
Availability and price limits
The sales condition is participating locations, for a limited time, while supplies last. No fixed end date is given in the announcement. A search result or an older review showing a price or a November date is therefore not enough to establish this year’s local price or last day. These US release details also do not confirm availability in the UK.
For a customer choosing between the two, the Gobbler is the option with stuffing and cranberry; the Club is the option with bacon, cheddar and salad vegetables. After that ingredient choice, the next decision belongs at the selected store’s menu and order total. A later official end-date announcement or a change in that store’s availability would be the relevant update to this guide.
