current single: “AMERICAN GIRL” (from Petty Country tribute album)

Some people like to mix it up at Thanksgiving and maybe do a ham instead of turkey, or some other kind of meat, like prime rib, but Dierks Bentley says it’s not Thanksgiving for him unless there’s a turkey involved.

Dierks Bentley – Thanksgiving turkey :24

“We gotta have a big turkey. Thanksgiving is not possible without a turkey. A couple of Thanksgivings ago we were here in Nashville, and we did the whole fry the turkey up, and that’s just great. All those juices get locked in there. And you really can’t, for me, cook a turkey wrong. I’m gonna eat it any way. I have over the years. Trust me, I’ve played a lot of county and state fairs where I’ve seen gigantic turkey legs. I’ve had the flat meat. I’ve done turkey everywhere you could do it, so I’m pretty good any way you wanna cook it up. But you gotta have a turkey for Thanksgiving.”
