Turkey Picadillo
Today's recipe is another one from Skinnytaste - Turkey Picadillo. I only edited a few things to be able to use what I already had at home. I've made it twice now. It's the perfect way to use up the odds and ends I seem to always have that need to be used up (onion, cilantro, etc) before they go bad. Try it out!
What you will need:
1.25-1.5 pounds lean ground turkey (Skinnytaste used 93%, I used 99% fat free and it was still good)
4 oz tomato sauce
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 bay leaves (I shook some dried bay leaves into mine)
2 tablespoons green olives
2 tablespoons green olive brine
Sofrito:
1/2 large onion, chopped
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tomato
1/2 to 1 bell pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons cilantro
Cook turkey in a large saute pan over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper. As the turkey cooks, break it into small pieces.
While the turkey is cooking, put together sofrito by chopping and mixing onion, tomato, bell pepper, cilantro, and garlic. Add sofrito to meat and continue cooking on a low heat. Add green olives, brine, bay leaves, and cumin. Add tomato sauce and 1/4 cup water and mix. Simmer on low for about 15 minutes. Enjoy!
