National Turkey Lover's Month

June is National Turkey Lover's Month in the United States.

Turkey is a dish that is strongly associated with Christmas and Thanksgiving, but there is nothing to say that they are the only times of the year that it can be eaten. They are sold both raw and cooked and may be sold whole or in portions. It is frequently used as a sandwich filler and is sometimes used as an alternative to bacon.

Turkeys are rather large birds, that are native to the Americas but have since been exported to other regions, so they are often consumed on holidays and celebrations when there are more people to eat them, but the meat does keep after cooking and can be eaten cold, or stirred into pasta, rice and couscous for example. They are usually too big for one person to really be able to eat an entire one, even over several days, unless they are also frozen.
