For $2.99, you get a good amount of warm, sliced roast turkey on a toasted sesame bun. You can ask for mayo, ranch, or honey mustard to go with it.
The turkey's a step above your supermarket deli meat. It had a nice meaty texture, good moisture, but was a pretty salty. I occasionally found myself wanting more bun to balance it out. Not to say that the bun was lacking.
Turkey's not as fully flavored as roast beef and I feel like it needs more dressing than the Roast Beef Classic. You know, just standard sandwich stuff: lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, and the like. What would be really great was if they added gravy or cranberry sauce (or jam) to highlight the turkey-ness and not just shoehorn it into the same sandwich as roast beef.

ReplyDeleteSlather on each bun slice a layer of real mashed potatoes.
ReplyDeleteExactly, that's what I'd use.
ReplyDeleteLooks a bit boring, like something I'd drunkenly pick up at 711 on the way back from the bars.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the turkey has replaced the sliced oven roasted chicken. The sliced chicken was no longer available at the Wauseon, Ohio location
ReplyDeleteHalf your daily allowance of sodium in 1 sandwich. Does it come with a side order of blood pressure medication?
ReplyDeleteYeah, you have to be careful with deli meats as they're often cured with a lot of salt.
ReplyDeleteWow this looks boring. Would rather get the roast beef sandwich...

I used to like the roasted chicken sandwiches at Arby's... I don't know why they decided to swap the roasted chicken for turkey. It doesn't make the sandwiches any healthier, and it seems to me that the majority of people prefer the taste of chicken over turkey. But I could be wrong.
ReplyDeleteYup, pretty boring sandwich.
ReplyDeleteI just bought the turkey sandwich because of this review, what a mistake. Worst turkey sand. I ever had. Didnt look anything like the picture, and as for the comment that said its like the deli turkey, it was pressed meat. Nasty. Will never buy again. Maybe it depends on what state you live in. Mine came from Pinellas Park, Florida.
