Makes 4 Servings

2 lbs. Snapping turtle meat, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
4 cups seeded chopped tomatoes
4 1/4 cups water, divided
1 cup chopped onions
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
2 Tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
1/2 cup snipped fresh parsley
1/4 cup dry sherry

In 6-quart Dutch oven or stockpot, combine turtle meat, tomatoes, 4 cups water, the onions, salt, thyme, rosemary, pepper, nutmeg, cloves, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, for 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 hours, or until meat is tender, stirring occasionally.

In small bowl, combine flour and remaining 1/4 cup water. Blend until smooth. Add to stew, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and bubbles. Just before serving, stir in parsley and sherry.
