The Pilgrims reached America in 1620. That first winter, many of the settlers died. Fortunately, the next harvest was quite substantial and called for a celebration in the form of a feast. The event included "91 Indians who had helped the Pilgrims survive their first year."
Interestingly, that first feast bears little resemblance to a modern Thanksgiving meal. For one, it lasted three days, and pumpkin pie and potatoes probably weren't on the table. As for wild turkey, it's possible, but duck and goose were more likely the main course.

"In 1621 when the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians celebrated the first Thanksgiving, they were gobbling up many more foods than just turkey.
Since lobster, goose, duck, seal, eel, and cod were plentiful during this time, these foods were most likely the main courses of this first feast.
Deer meat and wild fowl are the only two items that historians know for sure were menu of this autumn celebration."

Clarification: The meal between the Pilgrims and Natives was not Thanksgiving but they probably ate fish and wild game. It was nothing like it is prepared today.
