House Speaker “John Boehner” has revealed his secret recipe
called the "Boehner brine" for thanksgiving. John released a minute long video on Tuesday offers
glimpses of the apron-clad Republican congressman at home in his kitchen in
West Chester, Ohio.
"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 in the video.
"I take about 8 quarts of
water, half a dozen bay leaves, and kosher salt, a little palmful of
peppercorns, take a big head of garlic, cut it in half. And the real secret: 16
ounces of pure maple syrup," he told the camera. Boehner details his
refrigeration technique, covering the turkey and letting it sit for 24 hours
before putting it in the oven.
"Now I only cook my bird to
about 160 [degrees] max, take it out, put foil over it, and let it sit for at
least an hour. It's the resting time that really works."
"In terms of the cooking
process, he basically nails every detail," said Huffington Post Executive
Food Editor Kristen Aiken.
