Unless you know how to catch, kill and clean an /edible/ turtle, you
need to find a source for fresh turtle meat. Take some of that and add
to vegetable soup and cook until the turtle is tender. Cover the pot and
watch it. If the soup boils dry, the turtle will be hard as a rock,
inedible. Serve as any soup with crackers or hard bread such as stale
cornbread. Or, if you have a lot of turtle meat, it is best to make the
vegetable soup using the turtle meat instead of beef.
