We eat turkey on Thanksgiving for many reasons: the main one being a historical tradition, but also because of how big a turkey is. Thanksgiving meals require  large servings of food because it brings families together. Turkey is also very popular because how affordable it is with Americans buy 365 million pounds of turkey during the week of Thanksgiving!

What’s Thanksgiving without carbs though? In 1955, Green bean casserole was created by a Campbells employee. Green bean casserole is popular since it’s pretty easy to make and also is pretty affordable. Things like mash potatoes, rolls, sweet potatoes, and even mac and cheese are popular Thanksgiving meal staples.  So what’s your favorite thanksgiving food?
