Ground Turkey Picadillo
1 tsp. olive oil
1 C. chopped onion (about 1 small onion)
1 pound ground turkey
3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 C. beef broth
1/3 C. raisins
1/3 C. chopped green olives stuffed with pimentos
3 T. capers
1 T. tomato paste
Black pepper to taste
Â
Heat the oil and add the chopped onion, cooking until soft (about 5 minutes). Add the ground beef or turkey and garlic, and cook until the meat is no longer pink, stirring periodically. Add the broth, raisins, olives, capers, and tomato paste. Stir and bring to a simmer, then cover and cook 25 minutes or so. Serve over steamed white rice. Supposedly it goes great with fried plantains but I just fried sliced bananas in some butter, about 4 minutes per side, until slightly browned.
