Roasted Turkey which is an all time favorite recipe on Thanksgiving Day, suffer heart attacks. This because when the sound barriers were demolished a sea of Turkeys passed away. This has occurred when the Air Force conducted test runs.
With its origin in Louisiana, Turducken gained popularity when Thanksgiving Day offers were announced in the city. This is nothing but a bird which is a duck packed with chicken. It contains fewer bones when compared to normal birds and surprisingly it was stuffed with boneless chicken. While this still remained a custom, the remaining gaps as well as the cavity was filled with seasoned breadcrumbs to make it for a lip-smacking dish. Stuffings differed from region to region and inhabitants of the South made them from cornbread while others used white bread as the base. Seafood like oysters and fruits like raisins, apples as well as chestnuts are some of the foodstuffs included in the stuffing. Alternatively, Dungeness crab was considered as a prominent dish due to the crab season beginning from the first week of November.

Furthermore, Benjamin Franklin desired Turkey to be the national bird recognized in the USA.
