“It is a well-known tradition to pardon a turkey on Thanksgiving, and since you won’t see a traditional turkey dinner on our menu today, our pardon extends to all the turkeys out there,” said Abou Habib. “To give these noble birds a short reprieve before Thanksgiving, consider gobbling up a Cheeseburger instead.”

SONIC Cheeseburgers are made with melty American cheese, crinkle-cut pickles, chopped onions, fresh shredded lettuce and ripe tomatoes atop a 100 percent pure beef patty. To complete the feast, guests can pair their SONIC Cheeseburger with a side of crispy Tots, Hand Made Onion Rings and a refreshing Holiday Mint Master Shake or Blast to get into the holiday spirit.

This offer is only available on Tuesday, November 21, so head to your nearest SONIC Drive-In to partake in Unturkey Day, order an extra helping and give turkeys everywhere a well-deserved break, even if it’s just for a day.
