Weydii American ah waxa had iyo jeer ku jira munaasabada Cuntada ee "Thanksgiving" waxayna si degdeg ah uga jawaabi doonaan "turkey." Thanksgiving waxaa badanaa loo yaqaan 'Day of Turkey' sababtoo ah muhiimadda shimbirta cuntada. Laakiin, la yaab leh, Xajka ayaa laga yaabaa in aanay cunin turkey at Thanksgiving ugu horeysay ee 1621.
Inkastoo Xajiriyiintuba ay u dabbaal-degayeen qabiilka Wampanoag muddo seddex maalmood ah oo ay ku jireen Plymouth Colony, waxay u badan tahay inay diiradda saaraan biyo-biyoodyada kale sida berriga, godadka, iyo xamaaradda.
Edward Winslow, oo ah hoggaamiye Ingriis ah, ayaa ka soo qaybgalay mahad celintii ugu horreysay oo uu qoray in guddoomiyuhu uu raggu u direy "fowling" halka Maraykanku ku dhashay Hindiya ay keeneen shan gogo 'waaweyn. William Bradford, guddoomiyaha gumeysiga, ayaa sheegay in marka laga reebo biyaha biyuhu, ay leeyihiin turkiga duurjoogta ah, gumeysiga, iyo dukaamo weyn oo ah hadhuudh Hindi ah.
Haddii turkey loo adeego, waxaa laga yaabaa in loo isticmaalo siyaabo kala duwan oo ah saddexda maalmood ee iidda. Maalintii kowaad, xabbadood oo qoyan iyo dhirbaaxo geedka oo dhan ah ayaa lagu dubay dufka dabka ka sarreeya dabka dhuxusha. Maalmaha dambe, hilibka digaagga ayaa loo isticmaali doonaa maraq iyo maraq. Xajka mararka qaarkood shimbiro leh caleemo, basasha, ama nuts, laakiin ma isticmaali lahaa rootiga qashinka walxaha, sida aan maanta samayno.
Qarniga soo socda, turkey wuxuu sii wadey mid ka mid ah hilibka badan oo ka shaqeeya iidaha Thanksgiving. Tusaale ahaan, 1779 Thanksgiving menu waxaa ku jiray caanaha soo socda: Haunch of Venison Roast; Hilibka doofaarka; Duufaan Turki ah; Roobabkii Pasto; Goose Roost.
Cuntad kale ayaa sharaxday in hilibka lo'da loo yaqaan 'roasted' uu ahaa midka ugu muhiimsan Cuntada 'Thanksgiving' laakiin sida hilibka lo'du aan loo helin intii lagu jiray Dagaalkii Kacaanka, gumaystayaashu waxay cuneen noocyo kala duwan oo hilibka ah oo ay ka mid yihiin turkey.
Hase yeeshee, bartamihii 1800-yadii, turkey ayaa kor u kacay iyada oo ah meesha ugu muhiimsan ee cuntada. Laga bilaabo 1886 buug cunto karis ah oo cinwaankeedu yahay "Buug-gacmeedka Guriga Kansas," ayaa qoraagu sharaxay in "Miiskeena Cuntada-casho maaha kuwo loo soo bandhigay iyada oo awoowayaasheenii ay waqtigoodii hore ku dhufteen.
Guddidu mar dambe ma tufayaan, ama macno ahaan, ama macno ahaan, culeyska culus ee hilibka, khudradda, iyo macmacaanka. "Halkii, qorayaashu waxay soo jeediyeen in qaboojiyeyaasha guryuhu ay sameeyaan dhowr jeer oo marmar, kalluun, khudaar, iyo" hen hen - theme theme , dhibicda danaha isku dhafka ah - turkeyga Thanksgiving! "
Bartamihii 1900-meeyadii, Turkiga wuxuu ahaa mid aad u muhiim u ah caadooyinka Thanksgiving ee hindisooyinka sii waday inay iibiyaan si fiican intii lagu jiray Duufaankii weynaa iyo toban malyuun oo turki ah ayaa la geeyay askartii 1946 intii lagu jiray dagaalkii labaad ee aduunka.
Mid ka mid ah caadooyinka aan caadi ahayn ee sanadkaan, sanad kasta, hal turkey aad u nasiib badan ayaa helaya madaxeyne madaxweyne halka saaxiibadiis ay ku daboolan yihiin miiska cuntada.
