What to do with a soft shelled turtle

[ILmomof4]

We've been catching a few soft shelled turtles from the river where I fish frequently. The largest was caught last weekend and was about 12 inches in diameter. We have been throwing them back.<br>I know some people eat turtle. I've never eaten turtle or cleaned a turtle. But I'm willing to give both a try!<br>So if any of you have suggestions on how to clean and cook a turtle, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.<br><br>
