Why is eating a turkey on Thanksgiving a tradition?

Supposedly it was shared by the Pilgrims and Indians at a feast of peace

Though there is no real evidence that turkey was served at the Pilgrim's first thanksgiving, but through ages it became an indispensable part of the Thanksgiving tradition. It is actually as an engagement ring, a table without a turkey on thanksgiving looks empty. It is like a four of July without fireworks. The tradition of turkey is rooted in the 'History Of Plymouth Plantation', an so on from those days....

Actually, no one knows. Everyone thinks that the pilgrims ate turkey at the first Thanksgiving, but the truth is, they really didn't. Good question!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Enjoy it!!!
