Dierks Bentley Says ‘Thanksgiving Is Not Possible without a Turkey’

Dierks Bentley says it is impossible to have a Thanksgiving dinner without a turkey.

You gotta have a big turkey.  Thanksgiving is not possible without a turkey,” says Dierks.  “We cook it traditionally, but when we’re in, a couple of Thanksgivings ago, we were here in Nashville, we did the whole fry the turkey up, and it was great.  It just tasted so good; all those juices get locked in there, and I love that, too.  You really can’t, to me, cook a turkey wrong.  I’m gonna eat it anyway, and I have over the years.  I’ve done turkey every way you could do it.  I’m pretty good any way you want to cook it up, but you’ve got to have a turkey for Thanksgiving.”

Dierks will likely be giving thanks for his latest hit single, “Gold,” which is a Top 20 hit and climbing, on the country charts.  The song will be included on his upcoming 10th studio album, due out sometime next year.

Does your Thanksgiving meal have a star other than turkey?  Lots of folks throw a ham on, too…
