What is the origin of turkey?

Roasted turkey is an indispensable dish on the traditional Christmas table. In some Asian countries, turkey may be eaten only on Christmas Day to celebrate the festive season, but in Europe and the United States, especially in the American continent, turkey is a very common meat, and on the two big days of Thanksgiving and Christmas, turkey is even more traditional food.

This custom has a history of more than three hundred years.

It is said that on Christmas Day in 1620, a large number of immigrants from England arrived in the Portsmouth Mountains on the American continent. At that time, there was a lack of produce and only turkeys were found all over the mountains, so they caught turkeys as the main dish for the holiday.

So in addition to ham, sweet potatoes, vegetables, raisin pudding, fruitcake, cocktails, and of course, turkeys, there is no shortage of turkeys in the Christmas meal!
