Yes; the native Americans brought venison for both parties, the pilgrims and themselves, to eat.
Turkeys are eaten on Thanksgiving because the early colonists who had the first Thanksgiving mentioned eating turkey. The colonists celebrated the first Thanksgiving with the Wampanoag Indians.
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.
The first person to eat turkey on Christmas day is not known, for sure. However, one of the first people to do it was King Henry VIII. Still, the goose remained the most popular Christmas day food in England until the turkey finally won out in the mid 20th century.
The Pilgrims' first Thanksgiving dinner included potatoes, fowl, and beans. I'm not so sure they had rice.
