How To Cook Snapping Turtle Part 1

My lovely wife (seen above) came across an 8lbs snapping turtle trying to cross the road. She pulled on the the side of the road and proceeded to battle the snapping turtle until she became the victor. This past weekend we went to her brothers house where my wife, my father-in-law and brother-in-law cooked turtle for father-in-law's birthday. You may have heard of turtle soup but here in the prairie region of Acadiana we make a "sauce-picante" with it and serve over rice. Its good stuff.
