    Why do we eat turkey on Thanksgiving instead of chicken or other meat?

    Question #101466. Asked by IcrPortugal. (Dec 04 08 7:15 PM)

    		When Pilgrims reached Plymouth in America, they found that wild turkeys were more easily available than the geese and hence, roasted turkey replaced roasted goose in their celebrations.
