People love turkey on Thanksgiving because it feels like the classic, comforting centerpiece of the holiday, a big, special-occasion bird that can feed a crowd, ties generations together through tradition, and comes with a whole cozy ritual of roasting, carving, and gathering.

Even if people secretly prefer the sides, turkey still carries that nostalgic “this is Thanksgiving” vibe, and its mild flavor works like a blank canvas for all the herbs, rubs, and gravies that make the meal feel festive.

 

 

According to Red Table, Americans gobble up approximately 46 million turkeys on a single Thanksgiving day."According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, approximately 46 million whole turkeys are cooked and eaten every Thanksgiving nationwide. To put that into perspective, that’s enough turkeys to feed the entire populations of Spain, Colombia, or South Korea with plenty of leftovers to spare!"
