While this is being done, brown off turtle meat in olive oil. Put turtle meat in a pot large enough to hold all the ingredients. Add the roux and the rest of the ingredients, mixing well. Cover and bring to a boil. Lower heat and let simmer for 6 hours. More water may be needed. Also adjust salt and cayenne to your taste. Serve over spaghetti or rice. Serves about 20 people.
