\"Arby<\/p>\n

Among the many achievements in mankind\u2019s endless appetite for culinary innovation, I tend to think one of the more fun developments has been the deep-fried turkey.<\/p>\n

Granted, it\u2019s not an Oreo that <\/a>tastes like a bowl of Fruity Pebbles, but there\u2019s a combination of country-boy-can survive and backyard science experiment that makes me want to pump my fists, scream \u201c\u2019MERICA!\u201d and make sure I have a fire extinguisher on hand.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, I can skip the last part of that equation now that Arby\u2019s has released a line of deep-fried turkey sandwiches, including the Deep Fried Turkey Club.<\/p>\n

\"Arby<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get this out of the way: The Deep Fried Turkey Club doesn\u2019t inspire an initial reaction of mouth-watering gawking. Among the many meat mountains that Arby\u2019s has given us in recent years, it looks comparatively average, with noticeably less stacked meat than Arby\u2019s Grand Turkey Club.<\/p>\n

But it tastes better than the Grand Turkey Club, and it all starts with the deep-fried turkey.<\/p>\n

\"Arby<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a bit of a clumsy comparison, but the difference is similar to that of Arby\u2019s roast beef and Angus steak. Where Arby\u2019s roast turkey is actually pretty good, it\u2019s still deli meat when you get down to it. The fried turkey, though, is succulent, slightly sweet, and has a wonderful seasoned crust. If someone served this to me at Thanksgiving, I would probably disavow cranberry sauce and gravy. It\u2019s that good on its own.<\/p>\n

The rest of the sandwich is top-notch and surprisingly well-balanced despite salt bombs of cheddar and bacon. Less divisive than Arby\u2019s brown sugar bacon, the black pepper bacon adds great crunch and smoke, while the melted cheddar adds a mild creaminess and richness.<\/p>\n

\"Arby<\/p>\n

And, where the bun, mayo, and toppings could have ruined the classic club taste, all three elements are executed to near perfection, creating a crisp and clean flavor to cut all the meat and salt. My only complaint was the double dose of mayo on the top and bottom buns, which makes the sandwich a bit too soggy.<\/p>\n

\"Arby<\/p>\n

Arby\u2019s release of brisket and pork belly were game changers as far as the fast food universe was concerned. I wouldn\u2019t quite put the fried turkey into that category, but that\u2019s only because a turkey sandwich is always going to be (for better or worse) tied to Thanksgiving. Truth be told, this is a great sandwich, and by far the best turkey sandwich I\u2019ve had from Arby\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\nPros:<\/b> Exceptionally moist and flavorful turkey. Crispy bacon and melted cheddar cheese add quintessential supporting club flavors. Squishy, slightly sweet bun. Enjoying deep fried turkey without the hospital visit.
\nCons:<\/b> Double layer of mayo is excessive. Not the most filling sandwich you could get at Arby\u2019s. Not being able to build your own Derrick<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
