The reason why turkey is not delicious has a lot to do with its meat quality. Turkey chicken is 2-3 times as big as common broilers, but its fat content is very low, only 2%, which leads to its meaty taste and seriously affects its edibility. In addition, because turkey is too firewood, it is not easy to taste in the cooking process, so it is not delicious compared with ordinary chicken.

The reason why Americans eat turkey on Thanksgiving Day is not because it is delicious, but to thank the Indians for their gifts. The following is the origin of this tradition.

1620, a group of Puritans who advocated reform in Britain could not bear the pursuit and discrimination of the rulers. They fled to the Netherlands first, and in early September, they crossed the ocean and prepared to go into exile in the United States. The ship drifted in the rough sea for 65 days, and finally arrived at the east coast of the United States in 5438+065438+ 10, and landed in Provis Town, Rhode Island.

At that time, it was still a desolate virgin land, and wild animals such as turkeys could be seen everywhere. It's cold winter now, and they come to a strange place, lacking clothes and food, and the harsh environment threatens their lives. At this critical moment, the local Indians sent them turkeys and other foods to help them build their new homes. ?

After settling down in their new homes, these British people thanked the Indians who helped and supported them in times of crisis, and also thanked God for giving them "gifts". Every year on the fourth Thursday of June 165438+ 10, they cook the hunted turkey into delicious food, warmly treat the Indians and hold parties with them.
