Turkey has become a traditional dish for Thanksgiving in the United States, which falls in the month of November. It is a symbol of abundance, gratitude, and togetherness.
The tradition of having turkey as the main dish for Thanksgiving dates back to the 17th century when the Pilgrims and Native Americans shared a feast to celebrate a successful harvest. Turkey was a common bird in the area and became a symbol of the feast.
Some popular ways to cook turkey for November include roasting, smoking, deep-frying, and using a slow cooker. Each method has its own unique flavor and cooking time, so it's best to choose a method based on personal preference and time constraints.
No, turkey is not the only option for a Thanksgiving meal in November. Some people choose to have ham, chicken, or vegetarian dishes as the main course. It's important to have a dish that everyone can enjoy and feel included in the celebration.
The general rule of thumb is to buy one pound of turkey per person. However, this may vary depending on the number of side dishes and appetizers being served. It's always better to have more than enough food than to run out, so consider buying a larger turkey or having additional dishes available.
