Why do we eat turkey for Thanksgiving
user
I'm not an expert on turkey, but it is part of Thanksgiving traditions in the United States and in Canada, to have turkey for Thanksgiving dinner.  The origins of this tradition may have to do with the belief that turkeys are lucky, because they are wild animals that don't generally get caught by people.

I never knew that turkeys are lucky.  Maybe that's why people pull the wishbone

The wishbone is a fun tradition, that was supposed to be a way to predict the future.  The wishbone was also a ritual that got associated with Thanksgiving.  Traditionally, the person who gets the bigger piece of the wishbone (the knuckle bone) gets their wish, but nowadays people sometimes prefer to make a secret wish and let the person with the small piece keep it.

I don't know the story of the wishbone, but I’m not sure the tradition is about luck.  I think it's about sharing one of your lucky animals with someone else.
