In the UK and Australia, Thanksgiving is not celebrated, and turkey is generally associated with Christmas. In Britain there is an increasingly minor religious holiday called Harvest Sunday, which celebrates the bounty given by God for men to reap in Autumn, which has become less and less significant as Britain moved away from being an agricultural economy. Its significance here is that when emigrants took the Harvest Sunday celebration to the USA and Canada, it became Thanksgiving, albeit celebrated on different dates. The Pilgrims were actually celebrating Harvest Thanksgiving in 1621 as they would have done in England, for the same reasons. But they had access to turkeys.

* The Thanksgiving HolidayMode in ''VideoGame/AliceInTheMirrorsOfAlbion'' features plenty of turkey-related objects. There's a special seach location that is shaped like a turkey, a cartoon turkey you can trade with for bonuses, and a roast turkey AnthropomorphicFood which you can "arrest" for similar purposes.

It just... isn't? At all. 'Widely' would imply it has any presence beyond emigrants from countries that DO celebrate it.
