Thanksgiving was first proposed by the United States. Thanksgiving Day is the most authentic and national holiday in the United States, aiming at thanking the Indians. Later, Americans also thanked others on this day. Since 194 1, Thanksgiving Day is on the fourth Thursday of June every year. From this day on, we will have a two-day holiday and get together with our families, no matter how busy we are.
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 they ate turkey and found that turkey was more delicious than goose. There are many turkeys in North America. Therefore, roast turkey has become a big dish for Americans and an essential food for important festivals.
There is also a certain emphasis on how to eat turkey. It needs the whole baking, the chicken skin is roasted to dark brown, and a lot of mixed food (such as broken bread) is stuffed into its stomach. After serving, the host sliced it with a knife and distributed it to everyone. Then everyone poured in the marinade and sprinkled with salt. It was delicious. Besides turkey, Thanksgiving food also includes cranberry jam, sweet potato, corn, pumpkin pie, homemade bread and various vegetables and fruits. These things are traditional food for Thanksgiving.

You can cook delicious turkey in your home oven.
After thawing, turkeys under 1 and 20 pounds will be marinated in soy sauce, salt, sugar and some favorite star anise for one day at room temperature, and it will take two days if they are kept in the refrigerator.
2. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit, bake for 30 minutes, then take it out and turn it over to roast the turkey. Pour the oil out of the baking pan and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
3. At this time, put in the half-cooked glutinous rice, and the stuffing is made of pineapple, ham, dried shrimp, etc. Put it in the belly of the turkey, adjust the oven temperature to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, spread a little honey and marinade juice on the turkey, put it back in the oven for about 30 minutes, then turn over and wipe the juice and bake for about 30 minutes.
It is not easy to turn the turkey over, but only in this way will the turkey be heated evenly, and the meat will have the faint sweetness of juice and pineapple.
Traditional Thanksgiving turkey
When Americans eat turkey, they usually stew it. Usually, turkeys are stuffed with various seasonings and mixed foods, and then wrapped in barbecue bags to roast the whole turkey. In other words, they ate the whole chicken. As for why not divide the table? This may be the same reason why we eat whole fish instead of fillets when we eat fish on New Year's Eve. It not only takes into account the beauty and visual richness of dishes, but also has the symbolic significance of the whole family getting together to enjoy a big meal.
