Fried Turtle

If you were shopping in a grocery store in China, you'd see packages of turtle meat (left) for sale at the meat counter and would love finding it.

Here is an old Ozark recipe for fried turtle meat:

After cleaning the turtle (see previous entry), before frying, parboil the meat until it is tender, easy to stick with fork. When desired tenderness is reached, remove and let cool a bit. Now roll in flour or cornmeal, add favorite seasonings then fry in deep fat.
