Christmas turkey, why is it called Turkey

Christmas (Christmas), also known as Christmas, is translated as "Christ Mass". This is the ancient Romans greeting the new year's agronomy, which has nothing to do with Christianity. But after Christianity prevailed in the Roman Empire, the Holy See incorporated this folk festival into the Christian system to celebrate the birth of Jesus. As we all know, the Bible never mentions that Jesus was born on this day, nor does it mention this festival.

According to the biblical record, Jesus was born in a small town called Bethlehem. Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and was born of the Virgin Mary; in the dream, the angel appeared to her and told her that she would give birth to the Son of God, named "Jesus". "Jesus" means "Jehovah is the Savior" in Hebrew, because "He wants to save his people from sin" (Matthew 1:21).

When Mary was about to give birth, the Roman government issued an order that all people should go to Bethlehem to declare their household registration. When Joseph and Mary went to Bethlehem, when they arrived, the sky was faint, the two could not find the hotel, and there was only a stable to stay. Just then, Jesus was born. Mary only gave birth to Jesus on the manger. In order to commemorate the birth of Jesus, future generations set December 25 as Christmas, year-round mass, to commemorate the birth of Jesus.

In the nineteenth century, with the popularity of Christmas cards and the advent of Santa Claus, Christmas began to gain popularity. After the Christmas celebration custom became popular in Northern Europe, Christmas decorations also appeared. Afterwards, it spread to the whole of Europe and America and also began Christmas; and corresponding Christmas culture was derived. In the mid-nineteenth century, Christmas spread to Asia, Japan, South Korea, and China.

On this day, Europeans and Americans also pay great attention to the whole family sitting under the Christmas tree and eating together. On the traditional Christmas table, roasted turkey is an indispensable dish.

It is said that on Christmas Day in 1620, a large number of immigrants from Britain arrived in the Plymouth Mountains of the American continent. At that time, the property there was poor, and there were only turkeys all over the mountains, so they caught turkey as the main dish for the holiday.

Turkey is a specialty of the Americas. Before the Europeans arrived in the Americas, they had been domesticated by the Indians. The name of turkey is called "turkey" (Turkey) in English. Because Europeans think it looks like Turkish clothing: black and red. Europeans like to eat roast goose. After immigrating to the Americas, it was too late to raise geese, so he had to eat turkey and found that turkey was better than geese.

The traditional roast turkey is very simple, just use salt and pepper powder to smear the turkey inside and outside, and then roast in the oven for about 3 hours.

As the society's wealthy roasted turkey diversifies, the turkey's belly is stuffed with vegetables such as onions, celery, carrots, chestnuts, etc., with a variety of spices on the surface, and then placed in the oven to roast. In this way, the aroma of vegetables is slowly integrated with the turkey. Of course, there are other methods, each with its own flavor. When serving, the whole turkey is served on the table, and then the roasted turkey is cut with a knife and fork. Enjoy together. This way of sharing is similar to that of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. There is a family reunion to share a big meal.

Since then, the delicious roasted turkey has become a big dish for Christmas and is essential in this important festival.
