A personal Thanksgiving musing connects the turkey to Greek myth Meleagros and the helmeted guineafowl. The piece traces turkey origins from Mexico to Europe, European domestication, and reintroduction in the United States, noting scientific names, historical figures like Franklin and Audubon, and folklore surrounding Meleager and Atalanta.
