Logma
The Starbucks Turkey and Stuffing Sandwich has 510 calories, 25 grams of protein, 7 grams of fat, 84 grams of carbs, 23 grams of sugar and 1,460 milligrams of sodium in one 10 ounce sandwich. That is the whole number, straight off the Starbucks nutrition page, for the 2026 holiday version that landed on November 5.
It is a Thanksgiving dinner folded into a baguette: sliced turkey, stuffing and gravy on a cranberry studded baguette, finished with cranberry sauce. The calorie count is fair for a real lunch. The sodium is the number worth a second look. Below is the full breakdown, how it stacks up against the sandwich you would build from Thanksgiving leftovers, and the fastest way to log it.
Quick disclosure: I'm Batu, and I build Logma, a voice calorie tracker for iPhone. Every number here comes from a source you can check at the bottom, and I'll show you where you don't need an app at all.
Starbucks Turkey and Stuffing Sandwich, by the numbers
Here is the full nutrition for one sandwich, from the official Starbucks listing.
| Nutrition (1 sandwich) | Amount |
|---|---|
| Calories | 510 |
| Protein | 25 g |
| Total fat | 7 g |
| Total carbs | 84 g |
| Sugar | 23 g |
| Sodium | 1,460 mg |
| Serving size | 283 g (about 10 oz) |
The shape of this sandwich is unusual for fast food. Only 7 grams of fat, but 84 grams of carbs, because the calories live in the big cranberry baguette and the stuffing, not in oil or cheese. That is also why 510 calories buys you a genuinely filling lunch here.
Where the 510 calories actually sit
Four parts, roughly in this order of weight:
- The cranberry baguette. This is the biggest single source of calories and nearly all of the 84 grams of carbs. A dense holiday baguette with dried cranberries baked in is a lot of bread.
- The stuffing. Bread again, plus a little fat, which is how a low fat sandwich still climbs to 510.
- The sliced turkey. This is where almost all of the 25 grams of protein comes from, for very few calories. Turkey breast is one of the leanest things on any menu.
- Gravy and cranberry sauce. Small amounts, but they carry most of the 23 grams of sugar and a good share of the salt.
So the turkey is doing you a favor and the bread is where the count comes from. Good to know if you ever build your own version at home.
510 calories, in the context of a day
For most adults a lunch somewhere between 400 and 700 calories is normal, so 510 sits right in the middle. If you're eating around 2,000 calories a day, this sandwich is about a quarter of it, and it leaves you plenty of room.
The part that makes it a smart pick is the protein. 25 grams for 510 calories is a strong ratio for grab and go food, and protein is the macro that actually keeps you full to dinner. A plain pastry in the same calorie range would leave you hungry in an hour. If you care about hitting a protein target, this beats most things in the Starbucks case, and it is close to a real meal rather than a snack. For the small stuff between meals, I keep a list of high protein snacks under 200 calories that pairs well with a lunch like this.
Where it gets expensive is if you add a holiday drink. The 2026 holiday drinks run high: the Tiramisu Velvet Latte is about 460 calories on its own. Sandwich plus that latte is nearly 1,000 calories before you've touched a cake pop. Nothing wrong with it, you just want to see the whole receipt, not one line of it.
The number to actually watch: sodium
1,460 milligrams of sodium is the figure I'd flag. The FDA sets the daily limit at 2,300 milligrams, so this one sandwich is about 63 percent of a full day's sodium in a single lunch. Its menu sibling, the Braised Short Rib Grilled Cheese, is in the same range at roughly 1,500 milligrams.
This is not a reason to skip it. Sodium is not calories, and one salty lunch won't undo anything. But if you had a salty breakfast, or you watch your blood pressure, it's worth knowing the sandwich spends most of your day's salt budget before dinner. If you have any medical reason to limit sodium, that's a question for your doctor, not a calorie app.
Starbucks sandwich vs a homemade leftover one
If you've ever built a turkey, stuffing and cranberry sandwich from Thanksgiving leftovers, you know it's the same idea. The calories, though, swing a lot more at home.
A homemade leftover turkey and stuffing sandwich runs anywhere from about 420 calories for a light one to 740 or more once you pile on extra gravy, cheese or a thick layer of mayo. Starbucks' 510 sits right in that range, with one advantage: it's a fixed number you can log in two seconds instead of guessing how much stuffing you packed in.
At home you control it, which cuts both ways. Toast two thin slices of bread instead of a baguette, skip the mayo, and you can land well under 400 with more turkey than Starbucks gives you. The honest trade is time and a loaded sink. If you want the full holiday plate math, I broke down how many calories are in a Thanksgiving dinner separately.
The fastest way to log a Starbucks run
A packaged sandwich is easy enough to look up, because it has a label. The trouble starts when the sandwich is one part of a bigger order: a drink, maybe a cake pop, maybe you split the sandwich with someone. That's three or four lookups, and that's where people quietly stop logging.
With Logma you say the whole order in one sentence and it counts every item.
"A Starbucks turkey and stuffing sandwich, a grande flat white and a bearista cake pop."
It logs the calories and macros for all three in about 5 seconds. You can type it instead if you'd rather not talk. There's no account to make and your log stays on your phone. Voice is included in every plan, and the yearly plan starts with a 3 day free trial, then $49.99 a year.
And the real reason I built it this way: the Starbucks sandwich has a label, but the Thanksgiving plate at your aunt's house does not. "Two slices of turkey, a scoop of stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy and a spoon of cranberry sauce" is one sentence to Logma and impossible to find in a search bar. A photo app can't help there either, because it can't see the butter in the potatoes or the oil in the gravy.
US and UK, and how long it's around
The Turkey and Stuffing Sandwich is on the Starbucks US holiday menu that launched November 5, 2026, alongside the new Tiramisu Velvet Latte and the Bearista Cake Pop. Like the rest of the holiday lineup, it's seasonal, so expect it through the end of the year and gone in January.
UK readers: this exact sandwich is a US item. The Starbucks UK Christmas 2026 food menu is different, built around the returning Pigs Under Blanket Roll and a new Festive Deli Flatbread, so the numbers above are for the US version only. If you want a target to log against before you order, the free calorie calculator gives you a daily number to aim for.
