The Turkey is an important part of the Thanksgiving tradition because according to the legend of the Pilgrims and Indians they shared turkey in a several day fest to thank the Indians for helping them plant crop and harvest for winter. Whether the Pilgrims and Indians actually ate turkey is not known. It is possible that they did because Turkey would be redilly abundant in the east US but this isn't a certainty. However, Turkey is a food that is abundant in the US and is large and can feed many people, this is probably why Turkeys are eaten at Thanksgiving.
