If only choosing one, its ham every time.

I like to have both.  I eat the dark meat of the turkey, so there is always plenty for me because nobody fights over it.  (white meat vs dark meat, that's a debate)  Ham is always solid and we always fix a spiral cut ham of some variety.  It is so good as leftovers and the ham bone goes in a kettle of pinto beans a few days later.

Yes on all counts!  I love the dark meat too.

What about deli ham @Watusi?

Yes.  Not as good as a whole ham, but still good.

If it comes from a pig, I probably will like it.  One exception is Souse, another is probably chitlins but we will never know on that one.

I dig swine too.  Agree on Souse but I like fried chitlins. 

Turkey.  So Rockwellian.

For me it's BOTH!

Anybody out there have a different traditional meat not named ham or turkey?

Not necessarily a different meat, but both sides of my family are Italian; all four grandparents right off the boat. Both sets of grandparents and by extension, my parents, are very steeped in the tradition of having a big Italian dinner before the traditional Thanksgiving meal. Antipasto first, usually a soup second, then usually ziti, lasagna, or spaghetti with Italian sausage/meatballs. There is usually a small turkey with some traditional sides after but the vast majority of it goes home with everyone as leftovers.

My Mom and sister do chicken wings.

Give me the bird.

A glazed ham every single time.

Picking between ham and turkey would be like picking a favorite son. I just can't do it. I love them both too much !
