There’s no need to wait until November to place an order, as this holiday favorite won’t be around forever. 

Popeyes’ Cajun-Style Turkey Is Back for Thanksgiving

Turkey season has officially arrived at Popeyes! The restaurant is bringing back its Cajun-Style Turkey for another holiday season, offering a convenient option for people who want a flavorful Thanksgiving centerpiece without doing all the hard work themselves.

The secret is in the seasoning. Popeyes marinates its turkey in a blend of signature Cajun spices, giving it the bold, Louisiana-inspired flavor the fast-food chain is known for. 

Popeyes has offered its Cajun-Style Turkey for several years, so it’s a returning seasonal favorite rather than a brand-new menu experiment. 

Of course, the turkey isn’t limited to Thanksgiving Day. It could also work for an early holiday dinner, a Friendsgiving party, or any gathering where feeding a hungry crowd is on the agenda.

How Much Does Popeyes’ Cajun-Style Turkey Cost?

Popeyes’ Cajun-Style Turkey costs $59.99 to pickup in-store. Orders open October 19, 2026, and customers have three ways to get one. They can order through the official Popeyes turkey website, visit a participating Popeyes restaurant, or use the chain’s app.

Pickup begins October 23rd, so customers still have a few days before they can drive down to their nearest Popeyes’ store. 

The turkey is also available for a limited time, which means it may not be an option for anyone who waits until the last minute.

I’m not going to lie, $59.99 seems a little pricey for a turkey. For context, this same turkey cost $54.99 for in-store pickup and $99.00 for online delivery in 2025 and 2024. But then, price hikes cut across almost every industry, and not just the food industry. That being said, the Cajun-Style Turkey can comfortably feed about 7 people and as much as 12 people, if you have a lot of kids.

Don’t Wait Too Long To Order

Popeyes is giving fans another chance to bring its Cajun-Style Turkey to the Thanksgiving table, and the timing couldn’t be better for anyone who wants to get ahead of holiday planning.

Orders open October 19, 2026, for $59.99, with pickup starting October 23rd. The turkey can be ordered online, through the Popeyes app, or at participating restaurants.

Since last year’s deal wrapped up on November 19th, which was just about a month after it began, I suspect this year’s deal would be closed around this same time.
