Why do Christians eat turkey?

Answer 1

As far as I know, no religion forbids eating turkey.

The book of Leviticus in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible forbids the eating of certain foods, notably pork and shellfish, but few Christians follow these strictures. I don't believe that eating turkey is something that defines Christians. The Native Americans ate turkey. It is tradition that the first settlers in America ate turkey for their first Thanksgiving. Most of the first settlers to America were fleeing religious persecution in Europe. I know many Christians that don't like turkey!

Answer 2

For Centuries it was traditional for UK families to eat goose or the head of a boar. However this changed in the 16th Century when the turkey bird was introduced to England.
