Just in time for Thanksgiving, House Speaker John Boehner has revealed his secret turkey recipe that he calls the "Boehner brine."
"I decided a number of years ago that I would try to brine a turkey. I found a recipe somewhere online and tinkered with it over a period of about five years, until I settled in on my current brine," he said.
Although Boehner's method doesn't quite meet USDA safety standards for internal temperature, those who know their way around a turkey confirm that Boehner has the right idea.
"In terms of the cooking process, he basically nails every detail," said Huffington Post Executive Food Editor Kristen Aiken.
"John Boehner has clearly spent a LOT of time thinking about brine, down to the dirty details," Aiken continued.

Spatchcock your Thanksgiving turkey and cut the cooking time in halfWhat is spatchcocking? Much like butterflying, spatchcocking involves cutting the turkey - basically removing the backbone - so it lays flat.
Wild Turkey mixed with scotch.
Just for fun I looked up “jive turkey” in Urban Dictionary. There’s a photo after the definition that keeps changing, but the first time I looked at it there was a photo of Obama!

He left out the part where he gets brined first.
Don’t forget to baste the turkey, you baster.
I think Boehner’s Turkey would go well with Turtle Soup.
Yeah, whatever he does to the bird, I bet they’re both pickled by the time he done.
