If you have a great Asian Market in your area, it's probably your best bet, they may even have them live if you would like to butcher them yourself. It's a messy business though, with a lot of blood and Post Mortem squirming. I buy frozen. If you can purchase bone-in Turtle Meat, do so! You can Roast the bones and infuse the flavor into your Beef Stock. Roast them in a 400 degree F oven until a nice deep brown, then add them to your Beef Stock and simmer for 30 minutes to an hour. If you like your turtle soup with a rich brown gravy, leave out the tomato sauce. Adding the tomato sauce will add another layer of flavor and will only change the color of the soup slightly.

Add the vanilla and pecans to the pot and mix well. Spoon the mixture in dollops onto the cookie sheet, trying to get 5 pecans in each one. If you like, adjust the pecans so that they stick out like the legs and head of a turtle. Don't spread them out too much, the pecans should be touching each other or the turtles will be too big.
