Roasted turkey is an indispensable dish on the traditional Christmas table. In some Asian countries, it may be eaten only at Christmas every year to celebrate this festival; But in Europe and America, especially in the American continent, turkey is a very common meat and a traditional food for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Turkey is a specialty of America and was domesticated by Indians before Europeans came to America. The English name of Turkey is "Turkey". Because Europeans think it looks like Turkish clothing: black head and red body. Europeans like roast goose very much. After immigrating to the United States, there was a requirement to eat geese before raising them, so I ate turkey and found that turkey was more delicious than goose. There are many turkeys in North America. So roast turkey has become a big dish for Americans and an essential food for important festivals.
This custom has a history of more than 300 years.
It is said that on Christmas Day in 1620, a large number of immigrants from Britain arrived at Plymouth Mountain in the American continent. At that time, there were only turkeys in Shan Ye, so they grabbed turkeys as the main course of the festival.
Therefore, apart from ham, sweet potatoes, vegetables, raisin pudding, fruitcake and cocktails, of course, turkey is indispensable for Christmas dinner!
