John Boehner Shares His Secret Turkey Recipe
The Huffington Post ^ | November 26, 2014 | By Amanda Gutterman

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.

You beat me to the turkey jokes, lol. You need a fast trigger finger in FR land, in fact you need the fastest “enter” button in the Old West.

When he leaves office, this will be his greatest accomplishment.

Wonder if his Rasta son-in-law will like it.

Not unless he gets his recipe from the “Rasta Gourmet”.

Spatchcock your Thanksgiving turkey and cut the cooking time in half

What is spatchcocking? Much like butterflying, spatchcocking involves cutting the turkey - basically removing the backbone - so it lays flat.

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!

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.
