A Twist On A Classic: Turkey Picadillo

By Secondchancesgirl
A classic dish in Cuban households is picadillo (ground meat). You can serve it with rice and beans or use as a filling for empanadas. It cooks quickly and it a great dish for those evenings when I am super-rushed to make dinner. There are times where I buy ground turkey instead of ground meat. This led to a new family favorite: Turkey picadillo.
Picadillo-Cuban
Turkey picadillo is cooked the exact same way as regular picadillo. Sometimes, I will even make changes to this dish and add sweet potato instead of regular potatoes. It is an extremely versatile dish!
