1, I was told by Milhouse above that the Pilgrims did not eat turkey and it is only eaten because it serves a big family, so it is not chukas hagoyim. Preferably, eat something else you like, but if you eat it, don’t eat it to follow the goyim but maybe the reason above or its name that reminds us to give thanks that we live in a land where we can practice our religion freely.
