    Edward Winslow's accountdetails that "they went out and killed five deer" and mentions that"our governor sent four men on fowling" and that "they four, in oneday, killed as much fowl as, with a little help beside, served thecompany almost a week." While it is possible that turkeys may havebeen killed, it is more likely that ducks or geese were the primarytargets.

    根據愛德華·溫斯洛的記載，他們那時外出捕殺了五頭鹿。"長官共派了四個人去抓鳥。這四個人運氣不錯，一天就找到了幾乎夠一周吃的東西。"這些人有可能殺火雞來慶賀，但鴨子和鵝更可能成為那時候人的首選。

    此外，在早期的感恩節晚餐中，當時的移民和美洲土著會用各種農作物，比如玉米、南瓜、土豆、山藥、甚至小麥等所有可能的材料去制作面包，然后一起享用。
