well cause if you think about it thats all they sell at Grocery Stores during Thanksgiving and Christmas along with ham of cause !! lol

But maybe it was because the Native Americans introduced the bird to the Pilgrims (but not necessarily on Thanksgiving Day). It was a large bird that was not migratory and therefore was available throughout the year. It was large enough to feed more than one family.
Im sure that this is a tradition that has been followed or ages and nobody really knows why anymore - sort of like thats how it always has been why change it now !
