Why Turkey Is Used for Thanksgiving
You know how we celebrate Thanksgiving to give thanks for all the good things in our lives, right?
A long, long time ago, when people first started celebrating Thanksgiving, they had a big feast to thank nature for the harvest — that’s when they gathered all the yummy crops they grew.
Turkeys were already living in the wild, and they were big birds that provided lots of meat.

When it was time for the Thanksgiving feast, people started to include turkeys as part of the special meal because they were a tasty and plentiful food source.
So, over the years, having turkey became a tradition during Thanksgiving, and it’s like a yummy symbol of the harvest celebration. People cook and share a big turkey meal with family and friends to say thanks for all the good things they have.
