Why do we eat turkey on Thanksgiving?


Alexander Hamilton once proclaimed: “No citizen of the U.S. shall refrain from turkey on Thanksgiving Day.” Hamilton’s proclamation became reality, and according to the National Turkey Federation, about 45 million to 46 million turkeys are consumed each Thanksgiving.


Ashley Rose Young, a historian with the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, told CNBC that Hamilton was known to be a proponent of turkey. “This was all part of a larger idea of bringing a national sensibility to the United States through consuming the same kinds of foods,” she said. “So turkey, being a bird indigenous and native to North America really set the American table apart, for example, from the British table.”


Young explained that historians do not believe that turkey was eaten during the “First Thanksgiving” in 1621 and that the likely meats at the table were venison, geese and duck.
