Ingredients: 2 ½ lbs. Turtle meat ground 1 lbs. Hamburger 1 Bay leaf 2 Celery stalks 1 Onion 2 Large potatoes cubed 1 qrt. Mixed vegetables (corn, green beans, pea cabbage,etc… whatever you like) ½ tsp. Lemon juice 4 cup Water 1 tsp. Nutmeg 2 tsp. Beef bullion 1 Chicken breast, chopped ½ cup Vinegar 1 qrt. of tomatoes or 1 large can of chopped tomatoes ½ cup Brown sugar 2 tbs. Cornstarch or flour Preparation: Brown the turtle and hamburger use ½ of the onion add it to the meat to give it extra flavor, when brown add it to a large pot, stockpot or slow cooker. Throw all of the ingredients into the pot leaving out the cornstarch. Bring the soup to a boil, now add the cornstarch (this will help to thicken) turn down and cover the mix and let simmer for about 45 minutes. Now let cool, serve and enjoy! *A little extra: I live in MN, we have a season here for snapping turtles( for those thinking that I am giving a recipe for something illegal, people still eat these and can because it is legal! ) Turtle soap is very good and if you live in an area with a population of turtle that can be legally taken it is a good source of sustenance. I have included a link that I found to a Instructables that will teach you how to clean a turtle, this is for instructional purposes. People have been disrespectful in the comment section and I am sorry for that please use it for the instructional purpose if you like his information like it on Facebook. |
