Actually, from what I have been taught, it was a much different meal than what we eat today.
Wild Turkeys are difficult to hunt, especially with a bow and arrow, so they were not eaten by natives often, and most likely not on the table for the first thanksgiving.
What was there were a lot of sea food, including eel, lobster, cod, and even seal. Deer, corn, assorted native veggies, and wild fowl were also on the menu.

Corn, squash, pumpkin, turkey, venison, and ale were known to be there.
It was a bittersweet holiday. The surviving settlers from the first year (less than 50) had to welcome another 200 settlers who had arrived too late in the growing season to be of any use. Instead of having plenty for the coming winter, it was going to be another lean one.
