Turkey and Thanksgiving, Why The Connection? Turkey and Thanksgiving are deeply intertwined elements of a traditional American holiday celebration. Thanksgiving, observed on the fourth Thursday of November, is a time for families and friends to come together and express gratitude for the blessings of the past year.

The centerpiece of many Thanksgiving feasts is a roasted or baked turkey. This large bird has become synonymous with the holiday, symbolizing abundance and a festive, communal meal. Families often spend hours preparing and cooking the turkey, using various methods and recipes passed down through generations.

It represents the coming together of loved ones, the acknowledgment of shared blessings, and the appreciation for the abundance of food and prosperity. Many households have their own traditions and rituals related to the preparation and serving of the Thanksgiving turkey, making it a focal point of the holiday celebration.
