Turkeys, which had been domesticated by the Indians and brought in to America by the European, are special local products in America.

Later, when some of them immigrated into the United States, they wanted to have toasted gooses, however, they only found turkeys. They had to cook turkeys in the way of cooking gooses to replace the requirements of gooses. To their great surprise, the turkeys taste much better than gooses. Besides, since there were lots of turkeys in America, a growing number of people have begun to use toasted turkeys to replace gooses. As time went by, the turkeys have been the inevitable dish on the desk of Ameican in important holidays, such as the Thanksgiving Day and Christas Day.
