Our traditional story about the original Thanksgiving tells of the pilgrims and native Americans sharing a meal which included turkey. Here is an interesting website about what we know about the real first Thanksgiving:

One story tells of how Queen Elizabeth of 16th century England was chowing down on roast goose during a harvest festival. When news was delivered to her that the Spanish Armada had sunk on it way to attack her beloved England, the queen was so pleased that she order a second goose to celebrate the great news.
Thus, the goose became the favorite bird at harvest time in England. When the Pilgrims arrived in America from England, roasted turkey replaced roasted goose as the main cuisine because wild turkeys were more abundant and easier to find than geese.

Because it's an American bird. Ben Franklin liked it so much he wanted it named our National Bird.
Thank goodness Congress chose an Eagle!
Counting our Blessings!
Happy Thanksgiving here in Florida!
