Just can't wait to get some turtle ;D

Just incase you all forgot how to barbecue ( my favorite kind of turtle) some turtle...

~ 1 turtle
~ 1 stalk celery, chopped
~ 1 bell pepper, chopped
~ 1 medium onion, chopped
~ 1/2 tsp vinegar
~ salt and pepper
~ 1 bottle of your favorite bbq sauce

Soak the turtle meat in salt water overnight or at least 1 hour.

In a large pot, place the turtle meat, celery, pepper, onion and vinegar. Salt and pepper to taste. Cover with water and bring to a boil.

Cover and simmer until meat is tender and ready to fall off the bone.

Remove meat and place into a baking dish. Pour the bbq sauce over the top. Bake at 375 degrees until sauce starts to bubble.

Reduce heat to 200 degrees and cook for 40 minutes. Baste often.

Serve and Enjoy!

I swear it is deliciouse!! ;D

Something about it, it foams up out the pressure valve, what a mess.

dunno, i have pressure cooked it many times myself, never had a problem, sure speeds up cooking time on an old "dinasaur" turtle.
will definately be trying the BBQ turtle though, that sounds great.
Hoping to start catching a few on rod-n-reel while catfishing, i like to get 3-4 smaller softshells for myself, they should be active now, especially with all this rain and flooding.
