The tradition of eating turkey, particularly in the context of Thanksgiving in the United States, dates back to the early 17th century. The bird was likely served at the 1621 feast shared by the Pilgrims and Native Americans, although historical accounts vary. Turkey became more widely associated with Thanksgiving in the 19th century, promoted by figures like Sarah Josepha Hale. Today, it remains a central dish in Thanksgiving celebrations across the country.
