17世纪初，英国的清教徒遭到迫害。1620年9月，102名清教徒登上“五月花”号帆船，于12月26日到达了美国的普利茅斯港，准备开始新的生活。然而，这些移民根本不适应当地环境，第一年冬天过后，只有50人幸存。第二年春天，当地印第安人送给他们很多必需品，并教会他们如何在这块土地上耕作。这一年秋天，移民们获得了大丰收，11月底，移民们请来印第安人共享玉米、南瓜、火鸡等制作成的佳肴，感谢他们的帮助，感谢上帝赐予了一个大丰收。自此，感恩节变成了美国的固定节日。
感恩节是西方国家的传统节日，
届时放假三天，合家团聚。在节
日宴会上，有一道必不可少的特色
名菜——“烤火鸡”。
为什么要在感恩节都食火鸡呢？
这些英国人在安顿好新家以后，为感谢在危难之时帮助、支援过他们的印第安人，同时也感谢上帝对他们的“恩赐”，是年11月第四星期四，将猎获的火鸡制成美味佳肴，盛情款待印第安人，并与他们进行联欢，庆祝活动持续了三天。此后 ，每年11月第四个星期四都要举行这样的庆祝活动，除招待印第安人食烤火鸡外，并在一起射箭、跑步、摔跤等体育竞赛，夜晚还围着篝火尽情歌舞，共享欢乐。1941年，美国国会正式将每年11月第四个星期四定为“感恩节”。从此，这一节日在西方国家流行开了。
