Gobble, gobble! While Thanksgiving sandwiches have been popular for many years, the demand for “Gobblers” and related menu items has surged recently. South Jersey spots are adding their unique twists to this seasonal favorite. Here’s a quick roundup. Trust me, I know there are more than this, and there are several threads on the Facebook group. Just search!
Haddon Culinary (Collingswood and Haddonfield)
Taking the Gobbler to new heights, Haddon Culinary offers a Gobbler pot pie and a Gobbler cupcake for November. This year, they’ve added Gobbler turkey sausage—Thanksgiving flavors stuffed inside a casing! Wow.

Pinsetter Bar & Bowl (Merchantville)
How about trying a Gobbler with an Italian twist? Pinsetter introduces the turkey meatball Gobbler.

It’s as delicious as it sounds!
