heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

Clean the snapping turtle thoroughly and remove the shell.

Cut the turtle meat into bite-sized pieces.

In a large pot, add water and bring to a boil.

Add the turtle meat, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, black pepper, and salt.

Simmer the mixture for 2-3 hours until the meat is tender.

Remove the turtle meat and strain the broth, discarding the solids.

In a separate pan, melt butter and whisk in flour to create a roux, cooking until golden.

Gradually add the strained broth to the roux, whisking until smooth.

Return the turtle meat to the pot and stir in cayenne pepper and lemon juice.

Simmer for an additional 30 minutes to meld flavors.

Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
