I do not see a problem wit this. Thanksgiving is a true American Holiday. Turkeys are the key main dish and Americans of Muslim faith should be expected to partake in this common American tradition. Religious Muslims are interested in following their dietary traditions, like religious Jews and other traditional religions.

The fact that the company goes to the trouble to become Kosher or Halal is not a negative at all.

Do you really want your turkey slaughtered in the name of Allah before it is eaten?

Koran 006.121
YUSUFALI: Eat not of (meats) on which Allah’s name hath not been pronounced: That would be impiety. But the evil ones ever inspire their friends to contend with you if ye were to obey them, ye would indeed be Pagans.
PICKTHAL: And eat not of that whereon Allah’s name hath not been mentioned, for lo! it is abomination. Lo! the devils do inspire their minions to dispute with you. But if ye obey them, ye will be in truth idolaters.
SHAKIR: And do not eat of that on which Allah’s name has not been mentioned, and that is most surely a transgression; and most surely the Shaitans suggest to their friends that they should contend with you; and if you obey them, you shall most surely be polytheists.

But with Halal the animal is slaughtered in the name of Allah. With Kosher their is no prayer said over the animal.
