The custom of eating turkey for Christmas dinner began in 1620. The custom flourished in the United States.

Roasted turkey is traditionally served at the 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 Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, turkey is the traditional food.

Turkey is a specialty of the Americas, and was domesticated by the Indians before Europeans came to the Americas. The name turkey is "Turkey" in English. Because Europeans think it looks like the Turkish costume: body black head red. Europeans loved to eat roast goose. After immigrating to the Americas, they had a request to eat goose before they could raise it well, so they ate turkey and found that it tasted better than goose. And there were a lot of turkeys in North America. So roasted turkey has become a big dish for Americans, essential for important holidays. 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 American continent, Portsmouth Hill. At that time, there was a lack of produce there, only turkeys were found all over the mountains, so they caught turkeys as the main dish for the holiday. Therefore, the Christmas meal, in addition to ham, sweet potatoes, vegetables, raisin pudding, fruitcake, cocktails, of course, without turkey this "brother"!
