What Are You Doing Right Now

There were about 145 people at the 1621 Thanksgiving. The meal was three days. Four deer, on average, is 220 lbs of meat. 1.5 lbs of venison, per person (including small children, elderly, etc.) for the tiny people of the time, is a massive amount of food. That's half a pound of meat per person, per day, assuming that the feast was three entire days, not just spanning three days. You'd have quite a party based on the venison alone, no need for supplemental meats or other protein sources. I'm sure that they had them, but there is little question that the meal was all deer, and breads and so forth. Given that they were celebrating the grain harvest, not the hunting season, we'd logically expect crazy amounts of bread and other carbs.

@WrCombs the only meat we know from official sources is from Winslow and he did record that an attempt was made to get fowl (not necessarily turkey, but turkey would qualify) but that they got any wasn't recorded (nor was it recorded that they didn't... he only records that people were sent out hunting.) The only food verified for certain, and way more important given the massive difference in quantity, was that five entire deer were provided.
that's it! I'm eating deer for thanksgiving next year then.

Historians talk about it there. Good reference to have. They talk about what the known references say, and what likely else was there.
Common foods that might have been eaten were small birds, broth, pottage, mussels, eels, lobster, shellfish and clams.

Stuffing goes back to England long, long before coming to America. If they did have birds, they would likely have stuffed them.
