The turkey is a uniquely American bird, and it was supposedly hunted by colonists living at Plymouth Rock in 1621 when the famous “First Thanksgiving” took place. One theory suggests that the bird also gained popularity as the center for holiday meals is that it is a very large bird, so it is more suitable for feeding many guests at your table than, say, a chicken. Turkey has become so synonymous with the holiday, in fact, that many people call it “Turkey Day”—so our little turkey tealight holder is sure to be the perfect centerpiece for the occasion.
