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.

The recipe actually sounds good.
I might use apple butter instead of maple syrup.

His turkey stuffing consists of Bourbon.
He is the same color of a deep fried turkey and come to think it - bourbon.

Brine is basically salt water, right? Given who we are talking about does this mean he cries over it?
