As promised in this post......
Here is what we do with the canned turtle!
First I drain all the broth off.....Your dog will love this, or your pigs, or chickens, or whatever....
Then I beat an egg with a little bit of milk......
Now heat some lard in a cast iron skillet....
 |
| Please excuse the wadded up tissue.........I'd like to say it wasn't used on my snoot, but that would be a lie.... |
Then toss the turtle meat in the egg/milk mixture....
Then toss with some seasoned flour......
 |
| You'll notice a bit of funk in the bottom of my skillet....that's because I seldom wash it, and I also reuse lard or bacon grease quite a bit....again, sorry if that offfends, you don't have to do it that way.... |
And add the floured meat......
Brown on one side......
Then flip and brown on the other side........
Now put in a casserole dish with some hot sauce and butter........
And bake in the oven for just a bit to "set" the sauce.......
Now eat!! We like it with a little bit of ranch dressing, or blue cheese, or shredded mozzarella...the possibilities are endless and if you don't "do" hot sauce, you could use your favorite barbecue sauce or it's even really good just plain!
Now go catch you a snapping turtle and make you some supper!
Till next time!

God Bless,

ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteHave you ever tried cooking turtle eggs? We did once when I was in high school. I was fascinated to see that the whites won't solidify or cook up like chicken eggs no matter how long you cook them. But the dog still liked them....
ReplyDeleteWe have never had turtle meat, but it's good to know. Thanks!

I haven't ever tried cooking the eggs. That is interesting that they don't cook like a bird egg!
DeleteOh wow, these looks AWESOME! I'll bet they'd be good made with rabbit too.....
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe! Maybe one of these days we'll get brave and butcher a snapper. :)
Thanks! I think it would be good with rabbit!! Did you cook yours?
DeleteSorry to be a bit on the dense side, but is that real turtle and if so, where would one get it? Out of the sea or off the beach of course, but I find myself intrigued about eating turtle. Here in Europe, or the Uk and France at least, I don't think it is available.....As for your skillet, I also do not wash mine out very often, so it is nice to know that someone else values the tastes which stay in the pan from the previous cook up!
ReplyDeleteHi Vera! Not dense at all! Yes it's real turtle. Snapping turtle to be exact. When we fish in the river or the lake, we fish for catfish, using chicken livers for bait. Catfish love liver, and so do snapping turtles, so we catch them on a rod and reel (fishing pole) and then bring them home and process them to eat!
DeleteI feel as if you do lose lots of good flavor if you wash all the "good" out of your skillet!!
Thanks for commenting!
