Why Do we Eat Turkeys at Thanksgiving?
No one is 100% sure why we eat turkey at Thanksgiving, but there are a few theories that different historians believe. Some believe that the Queen of England is responsible for the roasted turkey. Apparently, she was so excited to learn the news that a fleet of attacking ships from Spain had sunk before they could do harm to England that she ordered a goose be prepared to celebrate. Colonists were inspired by her actions and cooked a turkey instead.
Letters written by early settlers let us know what was on the menu that first Thanksgiving--fowl and beef. One pilgrim shared that they'd gone turkey hunting before the meal, so it would stand to reason that the fowl would be the game from that hunting trip--turkey!
