It mostly depends on which President pardoned the turkey, since it is a relatively recent (1980’s and onwards) informal tradition, thus since answering this question properly would break the rules I am unable to answer it, for those wishing to find the answer to the question I suggest use of an internet search provider to find the information.

It should also be noted that some historians might take offense at this question because it is not historically relevant in any meaningful way to which I would say poppycock, history is a study of humanities shared experiences throughout the last several millennia and since this is part of the human experience it is relevant to ask this within a history sub and for it to be treated as a serious question(and thus also under the constraints of the rules of this subreddit)
