Tradition and history says that wild turkey was one of the things the early settlers relied on for protein.
It is said that the native peoples brought turkey and deer to the settlers when they were starving.

So the tradition of having turkey at the thanksgiving meal was started.

originated in America may as well do it by eating a bird that originated
in America. That and they good really good.

I guess it's a good thing the Pilgrims didn't end up in Antarctica.
We might be eating penguins for Thanksgiving instead.
